Hi there! I’m Ali. Welcome to my internet website.

I’m a writer, filmmaker, and creative director who tells powerful stories that resonate widely, and who moves easily between comedy and drama.

I’ve written and produced television for Apple TV+, Comedy Central, and MGM, earning a WGA Award-nomination along the way.

In the film world, I star in the indie feature The End of Us, which premiered at SXSW. My extensive narrative short film and video work as writer, director, and producer for BuzzFeed Video, Condé Nast, and more has sparked conversations worldwide and amassed over 1 billion views.

In the commercial world, I’ve conceptualized, written, and overseen advertising and marketing campaigns for leading brands like Amazon, Calvin Klein, Budweiser, Fox, and Twitter (RIP), getting shortlisted for a Cannes Lion for the latter.

No matter the medium, I bring bold storytelling, a clear creative vision, and honestly — a fun, optimistic vibe — to every set, writer’s room, or Zoom meeting.

Born in New York City, I lived on five continents before settling down in Los Angeles, although I still travel and work abroad regularly.
