Tali Barde

Doğum 23 Haz 1990 · Bensberg, Germany

Taliesin Gabriel Barde was born on June 23, 1990 in Bensberg, Germany to parents Achim Barde and Angela Reith-Barde. His rather odd first name is based on the character Taliesin, the Merlin of Great Britain and bard at King Arthur's court in the famous novel "The Mists of Avalon". Even though Tali claims he has zero musical talent, he started telling stories at the age of 4, by drawing comics, cartoons and even short animation sequences. This passion later on transformed into his interest for acting and filmmaking. Gaining experience on stage and in front of camera as an actor in his teenage years and working on several film sets after his graduation, encouraged him to apply for film school. After being rejected he immediately started working on his first feature film, by the help of his friends and within a project group, which he founded a few years ago at his former school. The production process of For No Eyes Only (2013) took almost 2 years, but in the end brought the young filmmakers multiple awards, an international festival tour and a lot of recognition by the industry. When the film was released in German cinemas in the end of 2014, Tali was 24 years old. In the meantime he finished a new short film and started working on his next feature film project.
