Ali Imran Zaidi is an LA-based TV, feature, audio and game writer of thrillers, sci-fi and crime. Currently developing a TV series with Ley Line Entertainment (Everything Everywhere, Green Knight), he also developed an audio series alongside Hillman Grad Productions, with Janina Gavankar and Hasan Minhaj attached to co-produce and star. An inaugural fellow in Riz Ahmed's Pillars Fund Artist Fellowship sponsored by Amazon and Netflix, he’s also a 2022 Black List Feature Lab alum. Recently, he wrote for SoundTrip, an immersive, interactive show gamifying the listening experience, which launched as a live performance in an award-winning run at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. A Florida escapee, he's lived on three continents and worked odd jobs ranging from processing piles of Gulf shrimp at a fishhouse to building tech in a hangar near Travolta's secret lair. His stories are spiked with that diverse and often darkly comedic experience.
