A multifaceted artist, filmmaker, musician and creative force, Beale brings a fearless, genre-blurring vision grounded in the rich textures of underground youth culture.
Hailing from Tottenham, London, and a graduate of Central Saint Martins, Beale first began creating music videos for friends and her own tracks, developing a distinctive DIY aesthetic that’s earned her commercial campaigns for Fred Perry, PlayStation, EA Sports, Nike, and most recently IKEA.
Beale has collaborated with a wide range of forward-thinking artists and platforms, including Charles Jeffrey, Obongjayar, Flying Lotus, Cruel Santino, and Nia Archives, as well as The Face, NTS, Crack Magazine, and Keep Hush.
Rooted firmly within culture, Beale’s work fuses fashion, art, music and filmmaking into bold visual storytelling with emotional grit and singular flair. She brings an elastic, expressive eye to everything she creates, always on the pulse, always ahead of it.
“Energy bleeds into everything I make. I move between film, music, performance, and visual art, stitching them together to build gritty, emotional, off-kilter worlds. I’m never just one thing. I’m always all. Joining the Academy family feels like stepping into a bigger playground, with sharper tools and collaborators. I’m super gassed to grow, take risks, and shape new visual worlds that feel like poems you can step inside.” said Talia Beale.
“Talia is a rare force, a modern polymath whose creativity moves effortlessly across disciplines and platforms. With a nuanced understanding of culture and community, her work feels both of the moment and ahead of it. As she steps into the global spotlight, we’re honoured to welcome her to our roster and champion the next chapter in what promises to be a remarkable career.” added Medb Riordan, Partner & Managing Director.
“Talia is one in a million, an incredible talent who brims with curiosity and surprises me with unique references and ways of looking at the world. I want her to win. Not only is she a brilliant director, she is a wonderful human being. I can’t wait to see what she does.” adds Jennifer Byrne, Head of Development.
