Biography

Meredith Alfred Lytton, known professionally as Richard John Taylor (born 15 June 1985) is a British author, restaurateur and award-winning filmmaker. His works include the films Acceptance (2012) and Leslie (2013). Also a passionate photographer, he studied at Brooklands College in Weybridge, Surrey where he was awarded a Distinction in BTEC Media and Film Studies.

He started his career as a runner at various post production houses in London's Soho including Cut & Run, The Machine Room and Rushes, before becoming a trailer editor on films including Rise of the Footsoldier (2007). His first professional directing job was the indie film Fifteen (2012) which he also wrote and produced starring Hazell (1978) leading man Nicholas Ball.

Richard's second feature Acceptance (2012) starred BAFTA winner Chris Langham, Berlin Bear winner Crissy Rock and long term friend and collaborator, EastEnders (1985) legend Leslie Grantham, with whom he went on to make two short films; The Factory (2013) and Leslie (2013).

In 2018, he wrote and directed The Krays: Dead Man Walking (2018) starring Rita Simons, Marc Pickering, Leslie Grantham and Nicholas Ball. Released by Sony Pictures on September 10th 2018, it was the biggest first week on DVD of any non-theatrical British film that year.

On March 22nd 2019, his film Muse (2019) which he wrote and directed was released exclusively on Amazon Prime. He additionally won the London International Motion Picture Award 2019 for Best Cinematography for his work on the film.

He lists Casablanca (1942), Lawn Dogs (1997), Hard Candy (2005) and Edward Scissorhands (1990) among his favorite films. He attributes a backstage tour of Granada Television Studios when he was eleven years old with his grandmother as his main inspiration for becoming a film editor.
