Ali Clark
Director | Animator
Hey, I’m Ali!
I love making things. Motion graphics, 2D animation, and title sequences are my passion. From the commercial world to the documentary film landscape, I have worked in film and video production for over 16 years—pitching concepts, animating, editing, and directing pieces for regional and national brands. My work has graced Netflix, Hulu, PBS, AppleTV, HBO and more. Whether I’m working on broadcast commercials and brand videos, animating title sequences, or collaborating on multi-platform campaigns, my goal is to craft pieces that are detail-driven, thoughtful, and dazzling to the eye.
In addition to commercial spots, I’ve collaborated on feature documentary film projects which have screened at festivals all over the world, including A Life in Waves (2017), which premiered at South by Southwest, The Orange Years (2018), which premiered at DOC NYC, Lost Weekend (2019), which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, and the HBO Original Documentary, Alabama Snake (2020). Recently, I directed and animated main titles for Butterfly in the Sky, a feature documentary about the beloved children’s television show Reading Rainbow (Tribeca 2022).
I love to work with clients and filmmakers to tell stories, explore ideas, and push our craft. I am always looking for creative collaborators. Feel free to say Hey!
