Talia Bella is an accomplished producer from Buenos Aires, Argentina. She immigrated to the United States in 2001 following Argentina’s economic crash. In 2009 she started a cause marketing agency called Closets for Causes.
The agency would clean out celebrity closets, auction of their items to their fans and donate a portion of the proceeds to the non-profit of the celebrity’s choice. This was coupled with a PR and digital campaign that she produced from the ground up. While the agency successfully generated over 500K in donations to various non-profits, she struggled to make the concept a success. At an activation for her company at Sundance 2015 she met a producer there who offered her a job in film production.
Following shortly she went on to work for Rabbit Bandini, James Franco’s production company. Under the Bandini banner she produced 5 feature films before she decided to make a move in the commercial world and took a full time position, in-house at Apple’s ad agency. There she produced spots directed by Gus Van Sant, Derek Cienfrance and Alfonso Cuarón. After a few years, she left to go freelance where she produced for all of the top brands: Nike, ADIDAS, Huawei, Lexus, etc. Her innovative approach and creative eye have earned her prestigious awards including The Telly, Clio, and the coveted Grand Prix.
In 2019, she moved to Oklahoma and co-founded Rebellium Films. Talia specializes in maximizing film subsidies and incentives, skillfully navigating budgets to maximize soft money without compromising quality.
