The Writer: Patrick Taylor

Screenwriter from South Mississippi with B. A. in Theatre Directing. Currently residing in Tampa, FL. I'm the co-founder of a small production company, Falconista Films, with whom I produced seventeen short film projects. As a storyteller, I'm passionate about films that are realistic but also celebrate the realm of impossibility that exists only in the movies. Through my work I tend to play with classic tropes, campy style, and kitsch to explore contemporary issues through a horror lense. A few influences would have to include: Rod Serling, George A Romero, Anna Biller, Stephen King, and Seijin Suzuki. Go to bio
