OUR TEAM
M.A. TAYLOR
Award-winning documentary filmmaker. Investigative journalist. Political media strategist.
Visionary storyteller. Artist. A Washington, D.C. native, M.A. Taylor discovered his passion for sculpture, technology, and cinema early on. He graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a B.F.A. in Sculpture, emphasizing art history and theory. Influenced by early 20th-century art movements focused on conceptual exploration, Taylor's work reflects a unique blend of artistry and intellectual depth.
Taylor began his career in political media, crafting memorable ads for the Bush-Cheney 2004 re- election campaign, including the widely acclaimed "Windsurfing" commercial. Following the campaign's success, he advised on a series of Senate, House, and gubernatorial races, establishing himself as a skilled strategist in political messaging. In 2005, Taylor joined Citizens United, where he produced several influential documentaries, including Hillary: The Movie, a pivotal project that led to the landmark Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court case in 2010.
His work as a filmmaker continued with projects for Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign and, later, as a media consultant for Keep the Promise I SuperPAC, supporting Senator Ted Cruz's 2016 campaign.
Taylor's 2016 documentary Clinton Cash became a cultural touchstone, exposing corruption within the Clinton Global Initiative. Released during the presidential election, the film significantly shaped public discourse and contributed to the historic defeat of Hillary Clinton.
That same year, Taylor worked with Make America Number One, crafting media strategies that bolstered Donald Trump's presidential victory. As a filmmaker, Taylor has built a reputation for tackling hard-hitting topics with investigative rigor and artistic finesse.
In 2015, he directed Los Abandonados, a Spanish-language documentary examining the assassination of Alberto Nisman and its political fallout in Argentina. His subsequent films include The Creepy Line (2018), which explores the threat of big tech to democracy, Safeguard: An Electoral College Story (2020), highlighting the institution's significance in American governance, and Gotham: The Fall and Rise of New York (2023), which examines the policies and leadership required to turn around great American cities.
Taylor has directed nine feature documentaries as well as over 150 short films, ranging from avant-garde projects, performance art to music videos. His recent films, Riding the Dragon and Government Gangsters (with Kash Patel), delve into the hidden connections between global power structures and systemic corruption in the U.S. government.
