-Trevor Wall, independent film producer
BIOS:
Tal Drori was born in Israel, where he worked in entertainment journalism, Tal gained valuable experience as a primary journalist for two prominent websites Ynet and Walla! Tal ventured to America where he began his studies at San Francisco Art Institute where he learned traditional film studies. Then made the move to New York City where he sought a more practical film training program(SVA). There he found his strengths particularly in film pre-production, casting and management.
Key Talent Management is a full-service talent management firm with a presence in Los Angeles and New York.
Trevor Wall began his entertainment career as an awkwardly shy Squanto in a very problematic kindergarten Thanksgiving play. As an only child raised by a cinephile single mom, he watched hundreds of hours of classic cinema that taught him everything he knows about the human condition (for better and for worse). After a year at Will Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment, he started working at The Mission Entertainment (QUEEN & SLIM, BEING MARY TYLER MOORE) where he worked closely with Emmy Winner Lena Waithe to lay the foundation and infrastructure to launch her company Hillman Grad Productions (A THOUSAND AND ONE, THE CHI). Trevor’s continued to climb upward by becoming Director of Development/Producer at 30K FT, a former production company backed by music artist Drake. Recently, his first feature film as a producer premiered in 2024 at the Sundance Film Festival in US Dramatic Competition — PONYBOI directed by Esteban Arango and starring River Gallo, Dylan O’Brien, Victoria Pedretti, Murray Bartlett, and Indya Moore.
Now, Trevor is an independent producer currently in post-production on another feature film, SLANTED, written and directed by Amy Wang (writer of upcoming Crazy Rich Asians 2 for WB). SLANTED stars McKenna Grace (GHOSTBUSTERS AFTERLIFE), Shirley Chen (DIDI), and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (NEVER HAVE I EVER). Other upcoming projects include an African art heist movie pitch Trevor sold to Orion with writer/producer Amy Aniobi’s SuperSpecial (INSECURE) as well as a psychedelic love story in development with Kenya Barris’ Khalabo Ink. When Trevor’s not making his mom proud working in Hollywood, you can find him wandering a local art museum during the day and doom scrolling into the abyss on the state of America at night.
