Hebah Ali
Hebah Ali is a writer and director based in South-West Sydney on Dharug country. Her second short, Rage Bait (2025), was selected for the 2025 SXSW Sydney film festival, and her most recent short, Burqini Body (2025), made with funding from Blacktown Arts, will premiere at the Sydney Opera House in October. She is currently developing her first feature film with LA-based Invention Studios, and was a part of their 2024 Comedy Incubator, alongside her co-writer Mohammad. She is also in pre-production to direct episodes of the web series, Tint, currently in development with Screen Australia funding. When she’s not behind the camera, Hebah enjoys being in the ocean and playing with her cats. Not at the same time. Obviously. You can check out her Instagram here.
