Highlights
-
Chris Overton (Director)
Ali is nothing short of a genius. He was the Cinematographer on my first short The Silent Child. He is worth his weight in gold to any film or production. He has incredible ideas and is unbelievably artistic. He really was a dream to work with.
Ali has an extremely high technical ability for somebody of his age - he is a perfectionist and has an extraordinary eye for detail.
Ali is so much more than just a cinematographer and I look forward to working with him on my next project. -
Trevor Lock (Director of Photography)
I've worked with Ali numerous times and I cannot recommend him enough. He has amazing creativity and a great eye. He has experience shooting a variety of different films on a selection of different cameras so he has excellent technical knowledge, as well as great storytelling ability making him a dream to work with for any director.
I could go on but his work and his awards speak for themself! -
Graeme King (Producer)
I worked with Ali during my short film production Cope. He was thoroughly professional and a true asset to this production. For the four day shoot Ali would want to constantly communicate with the director so that he could achieve the best results. Quality was a word he used a lot and he delivered. His ability is without question and his work ethic is commendable.
I would highly recommend him and if anyone has any further questions to message me on 07581142044.
