Taylor currently programs at the Oscar-qualifying Nashville Film Festival and Palm Springs International ShortFest.

In addition to selecting and programming films from fresh cinematic voices, in line with their eclectic taste, Taylor is known for their singularly high-energy, intellectual moderating style.

Moderated Q&As include:

  • Tonatiuh (KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN)

  • Annapurna Sriram (FUCKTOYS)

  • Chris Moukarbel (CYPHER)

  • David Fortune (COLOR BOOK)

  • Crystal Moselle (THE BLACK SEA)

  • Hadley Hillel (CHAPPELL ROAN: CASUAL).

In 2021, Taylor revamped NashFilm’s social presence, developing the foundation for the festival’s online voice, growing followers by over 1,000 in less than six months, and tripling engagement per post on average.
