Talia Moore, President, DT Productions, LLC,

Certified Abuse Recovery Advocate, Filmmaker
& Author of "12 Steps to Victory: Overcoming
The Transgressions of Abuse." Talia believes in
the power of helping others overcome issues of
abuse through the medium of art and film. She
has written, produced, and directed for film and
stage for more than 15 years. This innovative
artist also spends her time working with non-
profit organizations in the areas of fundraising,
event planning, green sustainability,
recyclables, property abandonment and blight.
Talia’s core motivation and passion lies in the issues of abuse recovery. Through her
books, film productions and innovative fundraisers, Talia is becoming a rising leader in
personal growth and development through abuse recovery practices, tactics and
programs.

Film & Stage

From an early age, Talia loved movies. At the age of 14, she attended commercial and
acting classes at FACES International in New York City. During her tenure, Talia starred
in heath care infomercials. She later enrolled in the Louis Williams Academy Of
Performing Arts where she learned the art of stage production, stage writing and set
design. In the latter half of her high school years, Talia was excessively bullied and was
forced to seek a non-traditional education through the Delaware Valley Job Corps Center.
There she co-wrote and co-produced the stage play, "Cold Realities” The well-written
play received commendation from the school's principal. Talia also received the Student
Of The Month award for her efforts.

Play writing reconvened in 2003 when Talia wrote, "Mamma Don't Cry." The play is an
account of her life as a child growing up with an abusive father. Talia then wrote, "The
Customer," an action thriller of an demented customer who stalks and attaches himself to
a clerk that resembles his abusive mother. Feeding her desire to write more, Talia penned
"Return Of The Wiz," a remake of her favorite childhood movie “The Wiz,” starring
Michael Jackson and Diana Ross, after watching the remake film rendition of Dream
Girls.

Talia is now fusing her talents in fundraising, film and abuse recovery to spearhead
innovative projects like “House 4 Cell,” a nationwide cell phone recycling campaign used
to rebuild blight houses in low-income communities -- turning them into “green” abuse
recovery centers for clients nationwide-- starting with the north side of Binghamton, NY
where she lives.

Her efforts are parallel as, Talia is also hosting abuse recovery small group workshops in
churches, libraries and social service agencies with her ground-breaking principle-
centered Be-Attitudes book, “12 Steps To Recovery: Overcoming The Transgressions of
Abuse.” The abuse recovery advocate also calls victims and supporters to wear their
“voice” by “Rock(ing) Purple.” The effort includes changing Facebook profile picture to
purple, and/or purchasing other paraphernalia to show support for the issues of Domestic
Violence -- seen and unseen.

Talia is the daughter of Larita (Simpson) Hand/Willie Hand and James Simpson, twin
(sister) to Sherita (Simpson) Searcy, and older brother James Simpson. She is also the
mother of Rayn and Antanaja and wife to Derrick Moore of Brooklyn, NY.

Overall, Talia has a heart to serve the viewing population with future film and stage
scripts written, produced and directed by DT Productions. She will continue to strive to
serve her community and provide a platform for the voices that are yet to be heard.

National Cell Phone Recycling Drive To Build Houses for Abuse Victims
First five homes slated for Binghamton’s Northside district

BINGHAMTON, NY -- Green sustainability projects are becoming more essential as the

nation grows more consciously aware of its need to take care of mother earth. The
definition of “21 century money” is now coming in the form of recycled gold, cans,
metals and cell phones. An even greater feat is using the gift of mother earth and
combining it with a cause to help others.

Talia Moore, Founder of DT Productions, a film/theater company dedicated to the cause

of abuse awareness and recovery, is putting a new meaning to the concept of trading
“trash for cash” in her fundraising effort “House For Cell.” The project aims to collect
80,000 unwanted cell phones and use its financial resources to build five safe houses for
abuse recovery victims. Moore is working with Pace Butler, a cell phone remanufacturing
company, in addition to working with local and national abuse recovery agencies. Moore
has also worked with Child Help and the YWCA in previous abuse recovery programs
and awareness efforts.

Moore explained that the need for the type of project is timely and could work on a larger
level with the help and participation of families, business owners and social service
agencies across the nation.

“Every American household has at least five un-used cell phones laying around the
house. If we received only 10% of that stock we could help so many men, women and
children who desire to escape and heal from abuse,” Moore said.

This green sustainability project is not new for Moore, who was able to collect 10,000
cell phones in a previous fundraising effort for Hurricane Katrina victims called “Green
the Gulf.”

House For Cell launched December 26, 2010, and Moore has already collected 1,000 cell
phones. Each cell phone, no matter the brand or condition, has a resale value of $2.
However, compensation for a cell phone can reach up to $50. Moore said the collection
numbers at this state is a far cry from her current goal of 80,000, but says this effort is
aggressive and will take some time.
“Our partners at Pace Butler set a goal to collect 125,000 phones in one year and they are
still ticking down the list. We understand this will be a long road, but we will tirelessly
and aggressively go after it until we see our intended results.”

Proceeds from the 80,000 cell phones will be used to purchases supplies to rehab five
abandoned houses on the north side of Binghamton, NY. Moore said this effort is only
the beginning as she hopes to build 5 safe houses in every city across the nation within
the next 15 years.

“Abuse is not just a local problem – people are hurting and being abused around the
world and they need our help,” Moore said.

Moore developed a passion for abuse recovery advocacy, film and fundraising more than
15 years ago after being brutally raped by her uncle. In college, Moore gained a love for
film and fundraising – combining those efforts, she spends her time creating
documentaries uncovering abuse practices and on projects like “House For Cell.” Moore
is also the author of “12 Steps to Victory: Overcoming Transgressions of Abuse,” a
recovery program based on the “Be Attitudes.”

“Take five minutes of your time today and find five phones you don’t need and send
them to us. When you send off that package, understand that you directly be helping
someone in your community become a better person in the process.”
