ABOUT ALI ABOUOMAR

Writer, director, producer, creator – these are words that encompass my being. Over the past q0 years I have worked on multitude of film, television, and entertainment projects. I have supported teams in financing, pitching for films, pilots, and development. I started out at FirstLine Entertainment, where I specialized in tightening productions, financing, and distribution.Focusing on quality over quantity, the teams I have worked with have had their projects see a notable share of wins and nominations including the Golden Globes, Sundance Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, National Board Review, Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, Teen Choice Awards, and many more. The credited projects have brought in over $100 million dollars through the box office and streaming.Recently, I worked on two Amazon films, El Gallo - as a Director, and Saint Nicholas - as a Producer. Building on this concept and my Middle Eastern heritage, I established The Xpress Film Company in 2011. This is where I focus on developing projects with a cognizant, while giving those with talent, but no outlet, an avenue for their creativity.On the editorial side, I co-founded SOCIAL Inc- a multi-platform spectrum of digital content and print magazine. SOCIAL is on the pulse of what is happening in the world, now and in the future. Our team has covered everything from the crisis in the Middle East to New York Comic Con, keeping our aim balanced and fair. After Universe Network acquired SOCIAL Inc, I transitioned to Head of Content, curating media from all over the world in various different spheres. I have outlined, assembled, and signed off on a medley of programs, interviews, documentaries, and more. The organization has continued to focus on empowering minorities and the underrepresented as the company has established itself in Ghana and the Dominican Republic.All of the above mentioned embody who I am and what I strive to do; create.
