about allie avital

Allie Avital is a New York-born and raised director whose work is visually arresting, conceptually bold and original. She draws inspiration from the music video auteur generation of the 90’s and represents a new class of filmmakers across the spectrum of storytelling.

Avital has quickly become one of the most sought-after directors in music videos and advertising, working with a wide range of artists and collaborated with brands as diverse as Starbucks, Ralph Lauren and Pandora, always injecting her trademark sensibility.

Growing up in a theater family, Allie naturally learned to use all the storytelling tools at her disposal, regardless of medium or genre.

Allie’s work has been Vimeo Staff Picked nine times, featured in The New York Times, NPR, NOWNESS, Buzzfeed, Promonews, “Best Of” lists, and has been nominated for Camerimage Awards (Best Music Video and Best Cinematography), the UKMVAs and CICLOPE.
