Steeping in other worlds
Company
Hyperion Territories
    Talia is a Director, Writer, and Producer for film, theater, and virtual reality. She uses speculative storytelling and non-naturalistic narrative techniques, from dance to science-fiction, to create new worlds that reveal the deepest truths of our own.
    Her short film MAKE ME A PIZZA will premiere at the 2024 SXSW Film & TV Festival, and her short film NEXT TIME took home an Audience Award at the Academy Award-Qualifying Nashville Film Festival. Her dance films have been featured across international platforms and festivals including Short of the Week, NOWNESS, the Shiny Awards, Source Creative, The Cut Magazine, and Dance Camera West.
    Her music videos for artists like Jordana Lilly and BURNS have over five million total views online, and in her advertising and industrial directing work for clients such as Uber ATG, Caseworx educational videos, and NanoString Technologies she ensures that story always drives the beating heart of a project.
    She has served on the jury for the National Film Festival For Talented Youth and the L.A. Dance Film Festival, and is a member of Amsterdam and Mexico-based art collective Snowapple and the Festival Director for their Jardin Rouge Film Festival. She is also a Filmmaking Mentor for the Latino Film Institute’s Youth Cinema Project.
    She holds a degree in Directing and Screenwriting from Carnegie Mellon University, and has expanded her education through work with extraordinary filmmakers like Apichatpong Weerasethakul (UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES), Josephine Decker (MADELINE'S MADELINE), and Paula Wagner (MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE).
