edit data

Nitsan Tal is a veterinarian, photographer, and film director. She grew up in Israel on a kibbutz (a large commune) and later moved to the US. While practicing as a veterinarian in New York, she began taking photography classes—a hobby she had enjoyed since her teenage years. One thing led to another, and in 2013, she directed her first documentary film: It Takes Balls. She has since directed three more documentaries.
Something’s Up with Dad is her first book.
