About Talie

Originally from Calgary, Alberta, Talie is an award winning, Brooklyn based actor, writer and producer. With both a mother and grandmother as huge horror and thriller fans, it was destined that Talie write women’s stories in their favorite genre.

Her television pilot script, "The Corinthians" is a Second Rounder with 2020 Austin Film Festival and was a finalist with 2020 WeScreenplay Diverse Voices. Based on the true story of a female serial killer avenging sexual and domestic violence, Talie adapted the story from her solo show, "Maison des Reves" which toured from NYC, across Canada, to London, UK. Nominated for three Planet Connections awards for "Maison des Reves,” Talie was also named in "Best of London Fringe" including best performance by an actress.
