Variety also featured her as "International Star You Should Know" in their July issue. In 2014, the Hollywood Reporter named Ali as one of the "Next Generation 15 Hottest Canadian Talents under 35". Ali's film career has taken her to festivals across the world, most recently to South Korea for the Busan International Film Festival with Connor Gaston's crisis-of-faith drama, THE DEVOUT. Ali took home the 2016 Leo Award for 'Best Lead Actress in a Motion Picture' for her role in THE DEVOUT, a mother coming to terms with her young daughters imminent passing. Her other favourite feature credits include Sook- Yin Lee's YEAR OF THE CARNIVORE (TIFF), Ben Ratner's DOWN RIVER (VIFF) and FOXFIRE (TIFF) (based on the Joyce Carol Oates novel), which was written and directed by Palme d'Or winning French filmmaker Laurent Cantet for Paris-based Memento Films International.

With her extensive experience as an actor (85 credits to her name) and producer (AFTERPARTY, Whistler Film Festival & COOKING WITH LOVE, Hallmark Channel), Ali's creative evolution to directing is a natural one. Having completed principal photography on her first movie, AMISH ABDUCTION, in December 2018, Ali is in prep for her second film. Alongside her producing partner, Ali has multiple projects in active development and plans to continue directing and producing her own projects. Ali splits her time between Vancouver, Toronto & Los Angeles. You can find her at @aliliebert on instagram & twitter. - IMDb
