Bio
Ali Moss is an Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker with 17 years of experience telling true stories about other people’s lives—who has now turned the lens on herself. She is deep in the trenches of writing a memoir about her complicated relationship with her father and her commitment to breaking the cycle of intergenerational trauma.
Ali’s latest feature film, NO ACCIDENT (HBO/MAX), premiered in October 2023. Other recent documentaries include the Oscar-nominated THE BARBER OF LITTLE ROCK (The New Yorker 2024), FAUCI (Disney+/Telluride 2021), YUSUF HAWKINS: STORM OVER BROOKLYN (HBO/Tribeca 2020), and the Emmy-nominated feature NOT DONE: WOMEN REMAKING AMERICA (PBS 2020). She is honored to have been a 2020 Impact Partners Producing Fellow and to have been named to DOCNYC’s 2021 list of 40 Under 40.
Over the years, Ali has worked at HBO and Discovery, co-founded a non-profit media company, and written the first English-language guidebook to Hangzhou, China. She’s also served as president of the board of her local library, among other volunteer efforts in her community. Her writing about her family has been published in Business Insider, Kveller, and Viator.
Ali lives in the lower Hudson Valley of New York with her husband, two children, and puppy, Mallomar, who snuggles on her lap as she writes—and who is responsible for any typos.
