Taylor Orci is a TV and screenwriter known for their work
on Vida and the Emmy-nominated
series Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts on
Netflix. Taylor is also known for creating the web video ‘Bitchy
Resting Face’ that went so viral it got the term in the
dictionary!
Taylor talks about how they navigated their writing career and
forged their own path: "If I followed all the well-intended advice
that people looked me straight in the eye and said, 'I'm trying to
help you,' I wouldn't have a job right now. I wouldn't have a
career." Taylor goes on to discuss the need for more diversity in
the industry, especially in positions of power: "You need to have
more queer people and POC people occupying levels of authority…
from mid-level to upper level to the executive level and beyond… We
need to be seeing more representation and more butts in seats
because different decisions are going to be made when you have
those people in the room."
