Bill Taylor grew up on a small farm in rural Southwestern Ontario, Canada. In 1999, he moved to Toronto to study Political Science at York University, but ended up finding a home in the Film and Video Department studying screenwriting. It is here that he developed a profound respect for writers and filmmakers who told stories that were deeply rooted in the human experience. Though he has flirted with
experimental videos and films with some success, Bill’s heart always returns to his love of the conventional narrative.
Silver Road was Bill’s first fictional film and was selected as one of the NSI Drama Prize recipients, for which Sarah Polley (Away From Her) served as Bill’s director mentor. The film has played in festivals around the world and aired on CBC’s Canadian Reflections. It will be airing on MTV Logo in the US this spring.
Currently, Bill is in post-production on his latest short film
The Young Prime Minister (BravoFACT) and participating in the National Screen Institute’s Features First program where he is developing his first feature film “The Summer We Ran” with Producer, Richard Blonski (Water, Heaven on Earth).
Saying goodbye So much potential packed in a 13 minute short film… alas it was only it was only 13 minutes long, so what can you do
