简介:An imaginative auteur breaking boundaries with his sensational and acclaimed works in theater, film and literature, David E. Talbert is a brilliant force in the entertainment industry.
Talbert's love of writing began to take shape while attending Morgan State University and later New York University where he graduated from the school's accelerated film program. While his education opened his mind to creative possibilities, Talbert acknowledges he has learned everything he knows about his craft from doing the work itself. Guided always by instinct and what moves him, Talbert approaches his writing from the inside out. His plays, films and books often draw from his own personal life and experience. Born into a family of pastors and preachers, Talbert learned early on that comedy and drama were essentially two sides of the same coin. Looking back on the most influential characters in his own narrative, the sermons of his uncle and great grandmother impressed upon him at a young age the power of words and the emotion they can elicit. Talbert's writing has since been grounded in truth and from a space of hope and inspiration.
