Just Like The Girl of Your Dream (Except The Opposite)

Talya Galasko is a Cape Town-based writer and director who specialises in creating original branded content and short films. She believes in brief and digestible bios, however if you would like more information do not hesitate to send an email.

Expect a lengthy repsonse.

Over the years, Talya has managed to create an immersive world for her viewers by pairing a distinct visual aesthetic with rich and complex characters. Formative experience as a copywriter and editor is evident, as narrative is at the heart of everything she does. Talya’s work has been described as provocative and in some instances, even irreverent. She is a detailee – a fanatic and obsessor of specifics – the first to arrive and last to leave an edit suite (although unfortunately, she is often also 5 minutes late to set). Talya is represented at Mercy ︎︎︎ in South Africa,  Sticker ︎︎︎in the UK and DressCode ︎︎︎ in the US. 

Some awards she has collected over the years include (but are not limited to):
︎︎︎ Vimeo Breakout Creator of the Year 2023
︎︎︎ Vimeo Staff Pick 2022
︎︎︎ Porsche Awards Global Top Ten 2022
