Career
Career
Talati's short film, Mae & Ash (2012), was inspired from her personal experience in Bombay, where her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend stayed with him for a week, leading to feelings of insecurity. She translated her experience into the story of Mae & Ash. Talati produced the short Execution (2020), which won a special jury mention at the New Orleans Film Festival, and Honolulu (2023) by Maya Tanaka, and was the story producer for the documentary Being Mary Tyler Moore (2023). Apart from her narrative work, Talati has contributed to Netflix's We Are: The Brooklyn Saints (2021) and HBO's Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas (2018), where her episode earned a GLAAD award nomination for its exploration of racist policing. She directed the short A Period Piece (2021), which premiered at SXSW 2020, and wrote and directed the film Girls Will Be Girls (2024), which received generally positive reviews. Girls will be Girls won an Audience Award at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, and its lead actor Preeti Panigrahi won a Special Jury Award for Acting for her performance.
