Early years

{{rquote|right|I felt like I was too young, and I didn't have anything to make movies about. So very specifically, I went to Pomona to get a liberal arts education and not do filmmaking, even though I knew that was what I ultimately wanted to do.|Taylor, in a 2005 interview for Pomona College Magazine[1]}}

Taylor was born in Seattle, Washington.[1] He is a graduate of Bellevue High School and a 1984 graduate of Pomona College, a liberal arts school he attended instead of accepting an offer from the USC School of Cinematic Arts.[2]

Career

Taylor began working for Cannon Films in 1987.[8] After visiting China on an Avery Foundation grant, Taylor returned to L.A. and spent three years working with Ivan Passer;[2] he also worked for Devon Foster, a director at HBO, as Foster's assistant.[3]

Taylor met Payne while working temporary jobs in Los Angeles, eventually moving in with him for financial reasons. While roommates the two wrote short films and started writing Citizen Ruth.[3] After winning money on the game show Wheel of Fortune, Taylor entered Tisch School of the Arts at the age of 30.[3] He and Payne did further rewrites on Citizen Ruth while Taylor was a graduate student; the film got made during his third year there.[3] Taylor received an M.F.A. in Filmmaking from New York University in 1996.[4]
