Biography
Talia Moore –Writer-Producer-Director
Talia Moore, President, DT Productions, LLC,
Certified Abuse Recovery Advocate, Filmmaker
& Author of "12 Steps to Victory: Overcoming
The Transgressions of Abuse." Talia believes in
the power of helping others overcome issues of
abuse through the medium of art and film. She
has written, produced, and directed for film and stage for
more than 15 years. This innovative
artist also spends her time working with nonprofit organizations in the areas of fundraising,
event planning, green sustainability, recyclables, property abandonment and blight.
Talia’s core motivation and passion lies in the issues of abuse recovery. Through her
books, film productions and innovative fundraisers, Talia is becoming a rising leader in
personal growth and development through abuse recovery practices, tactics and
programs.
Film & Stage -From an early age, Talia loved movies. At the age of 14, she attended commercial and
acting classes at FACES International in New York City. During her tenure, Talia starred
in health care infomercials. She later enrolled in the Louis Williams Academy Of
Performing Arts where she learned the art of stage production, stage writing and set
design. In the latter half of her high school years, Talia was excessively bullied and was
forced to seek a non-traditional education through the Delaware Valley Job Corps Center.
There she co-wrote and co-produced the stage play, "Cold Realities” The well-written
play received commendation from the school's principal. Talia also received the Student
Of The Month award for her efforts. Play writing reconvened in 2003 when Talia wrote, "Momma Don't
Cry." The play is an account of her life as a child growing up with an abusive father. This show was
performed on March 23-25, 2012 with rave reviews! Talia wrote, "The Customer," an action thriller of an
demented customer who stalks and attaches himself to a clerk that resembles his abusive mother.
Feeding her desire to write more, Talia penned "My Mother’s Shoes," a remake of her favorite
childhood movie “The Wiz,” starring Michael Jackson and Diana Ross, after watching the remake film
rendition of Dream Girls.
Talia is now fusing her talents in fundraising, film and abuse recovery to spearhead
innovative projects like “House 4 Cell,” a nationwide cell phone recycling campaign used
to rebuild blight houses in low-income communities -- turning them into “green” abuse
recovery centers for clients nationwide-- starting with the north side of Binghamton, NY
where she lives. Her efforts are parallel as, Talia is also hosting abuse recovery small group workshops in
churches, libraries and social service agencies with her ground-breaking principle centered Be-Attitudes
book, “12 Steps To Recovery: Overcoming The Transgressions of Abuse.” The abuse recovery advocate
also calls victims and supporters to wear their “voice” by “Rock(ing) Purple.” The effort includes
changing Facebook profile picture to
purple, and/or purchasing other paraphernalia to show support for the issues of Domestic
Violence -- seen and unseen.
Overall, Talia has a heart to serve the viewing population with future film and stage
scripts written, produced and directed by DT Productions. She will continue to strive to
serve her community and provide a platform for the voices that are yet to be heard.
