Director Biography - Ali Ahmad

I began my adult life sensibly enough by studying commerce, then horrified my parents by deciding to be a filmmaker. I started out as a freelance production assistant on a show called ‘Ice Road Truckers Deadliest Roads’ for History Channel in 2010. Then I started my creative journey from the association with Fox Traveler & National Geographic Channel for various national & International travel shows. Later down the road, In 2012 I got an opportunity to work as an assistant director in an Indo-American feature film named “Unfreedom”. After that soon I turned myself towards the creative side of the sea.

I've been making films for over five years; promos, adverts, shorts. I specialize in short-form content, using my creativity and technical know-how to develop a beautiful story.

Telling stories is the best job in the world.

As a Director, I love to work on the stories that have an emotional touch with the flow, looking at the brighter side of the world. I love to keep it raw yet with a strong visual presentation. I try to bring a sense of magical storytelling with an emotional feel, to keep the high-end & conceptual brand campaigns.

Over the last few years, I've filmed all over the country for such leading brands as Bajaj, Maruti Suzuki Alto, European Climate Foundation, Pepsi, Lenskart, LG, Sketchers, Nestle, Google, Nilon's, UrbanClap, Mydala.com, Mirinda, WhatsApp, Color jet, Bihar Milk Cooperative Federation Limited - Sudha Products, Uttar Pradesh Government etc.
