Nate Taylor is an American filmmaker based in New York City. The son of documentary director Eric Taylor^[1] and contemporary artist Sali Taylor,^[2] he began his professional film career as a production assistant at the age of sixteen. Over the next six years he worked a variety of roles on-set, ranging from extra to dolly grip, until he ended up landing a job at the NYC-based commercial post-production house Crew Cuts.^[3] He has remained at Crew Cuts since November, 1998. While there he has edited numerous national television commercials for the likes of Pepsi, Verizon, GE and Saturday Night Live. In addition to a large body of commercial work, Taylor has edited a number of long form pieces, including music videos, short films, and worked on the independent feature, Kissing Jessica Stein (directed by Charlie Herman-Wurmfeld).

Showcasing the film-making talents he refined while working in post-production, Taylor started directing short works in 2003, including viral web videos, online commercials, indie music videos, and a short film. He had early success through several short viral videos he directed for job-placement site Simply Fired.com. In 2008 he directed a machinima parody entitled MMOvie. Created using the World of Warcraft game engine the short was a massive online success, garnering over 3 million hits internationally^[4] and receiving nominations for a 2008 Webby Award and a Golden Trailer Award. The project also got the notice of Austria filmmaker Daniel Moshel, who featured Taylor and his team in a documentary about the virtual world titled Login 2 Life.^[5]

Taylor is currently in production of his first full-length feature film, Forgetting the Girl, an adaptation of a short story of the same title written by Peter Moore Smith.
