AWARD-
NOMINATED
ACTRESS 

                             Welcome to Al's World!

 

As an Award-winning Filmmaker, Award-nominated Actress and all-around Creative, I have a passion for portraying complex characters in film/tv and sharing the modern tales of women through non-conforming storytelling.  

​

I've guest-starred in television projects on major networks such as The Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and The Style Network. I was also selected out of hundreds of contestants to perform in Twinkie Byrd’s "Monologue Slam" at the Hollywood Black Film Festival, and even received a Best Supporting Actress nomination for my role in the film "Swhadisthana". 

​

One of my most popular films that starred me as a lead actress, "The Testament of Karma", was showcased on Magic Johnson’s "Aspire" network to audience members nationwide. The film was also shown at various film festivals, winning the Audience Award at the iconic Black Harvest Film Festival and the Curator’s Choice Award at the International Black Women’s Film Festival.  

​

My latest film, "A.E.: Artificial Evolution", was showcased at The Martha’s Vineyard African American Virtual Film Festival, earning me a Best Director nomination from the Chicago Women Film Fest.  

​​

I have also had the pleasure of being a Producer on some pretty cool projects, including "Puppy Bowl", "In With The Old" and several political campaigns. 

​

Even cooler, I support my local filmmaking community as a Council Member for the Black Harvest Film Festival, an Ambassador for The Midwest Film Festival, and as a Chairwoman for the XL Film Fest.  

 

If you would like to hear my lovely voice as a Voiceover actress, I can be heard on some of your favorite State Farm Insurance ads and indie audio projects.  And, if you'd like to see how many faces I can make in under ten seconds, stay tuned for my 2025 feature film, "Recall Games".
