Atlanta businessman and civic leader, Taylor Gibbs Arnall is the associate producer for Captain Morgan Productions, LLC. Taylor Arnall's Georgia roots are deeply embedded in the foundation of the State's history and progress. As grandson of former Governor of Georgia, Ellis Gibbs Arnall, and son of prominent Atlanta attorney, Alvan Arnall, Taylor brings the heritage and experience of this progressive southern state to the Knighted Pirate Project. There is also a connection to the film industry through his grandfather, Gov. Arnall. Taylor's interest in the film industry began at an early age when he enjoyed the movies that were received and reviewed by his grandfather, Ellis Arnall. Gov. Arnall was President of the Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers ("SIMPP") in Hollywood from 1948 through 1963, and he was a Director of the Motion Picture Industry Council. While growing up, Taylor regaled in the stories about the period of time in his grandfather's life when he interacted with Ronald Reagan, Walt & Roy Disney, Samuel Goldwyn, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, James Cagney, and Orson Welles. Gov. Ellis Arnall, a successful anti-trust attorney in Atlanta, was sought and hired by the SIMPP executive committee (Walt Disney, David Selznick, and Samuel Goldwyn), to lead the group as its President. Arnall led the Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers through a period of expansion and change in the industry. He was convinced of the influence of the movie industry on the shaping of public attitudes, whether for pure entertainment or more noble objectives, and he advocated that American motion pictures were the best ambassadors of good will. Taylor Arnall continues his family passion for the motion picture industry through the Knighted Pirate Project. Taylor has experience in corporate sales, marketing and entrepreneurial endeavors as co-owner of Wilx Entertainment, Inc. and Fiascosound Entertainment; agent for iZgg Mobile Media Marketing; and account manager for Payscape Advisors, Half Off Depot, and Roper Roofing. Taylor is a co-owner of Establishment, a unique restaurant/craft cocktail lounge in Midtown Atlanta. Establishment has recreated the feel of the original pub opened by Henry Irby in 1831. Taylor Arnall, a musician, writer and lover of the arts, has been uniquely involved in entertainment for many years. A native of Atlanta and graduate of the University of Georgia, Taylor is an accomplished musician, versed on piano, saxophone, trumpet, clarinet, and guitar. His passion for music started at age 4, when inspired by his mother and sister, he climbed on a piano stool and started playing. The young musician later progressed to playing concerts, vocals, church choir, school band, musicals and plays, and eventually playing in various bands since high school. While Taylor was performing onstage with his rock 'n roll bands during college and afterwards, throughout the southeast, he formed an entertainment business venture (Fiasco Sound, LLC) for the purpose of the booking, promotion, management, and ancillaries for music entertainment businesses.
