Joe Talbot is an American filmmaker. His debut feature film, The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019), which he co-wrote and directed, won the Best Director prize at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival.[1] The film is loosely based on the life of his childhood best friend, Jimmie Fails.[2][3]
Talbot grew up around Precita Park in Bernal Heights, near the Mission District in San Francisco, where his father owned a home.[4][5][6] He met Jimmie Fails at the neighborhood park and, over time, became close friends.[7] He and his brother, Nat Talbot, attended Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts, although Joe later dropped out.[8][9]
Last Stop Livermore, a short film he made with Fails and Nat in high school, was a finalist in the Golden Gate Award.[9]
He is the son of journalist/activist David Talbot, grandson of American actor Lyle Talbot, and nephew of New Yorker columnist Margaret Talbot.[3][10]
In 2019, Talbot formed a production company called Longshot Features with Fails.[11]
