Andrew Ryan Taylor (born September 13, 2005) is an American Filmmaker from Elk Grove, CA. Taylor's interest in filmmaking began upon watching behind-the-scenes DVD material for the film 'Spy Kids 3D: Game Over' as a child. At the age of 12, he began writing his own screenplays, learning the craft as he went along. During his time at Cosumnes River College, Taylor was given the means to put his study of film and writing to use. The 2024 short 'Bystander' was the first film he successfully wrote and directed. Taylor is also on the autism spectrum. He lives with his family and plans to attend the Film Program at CSU Sacramento.
