Derek “DC” Talib is a screenwriter, novelist, director and actor. His love of art and writing came together with how he directs. DC sees things in a storyboard through his mind’s eye. His love of Baroque art and film noir style of film-making come together like a well blended wine.
As an African American, DC wanted to do films featuring diversity, with big emphasis on having strong roles for women and minorities. And – not just films grounded in black life, but rich in various story lines.
DC has an acumen for finding undiscovered talent and artists that love to work on their craft. He believes in indie films and understanding the business of creating a picture and generating a strong ROI for Executive Producers and the team working on the project.
