Ali Arminio is a narrative cinematographer based in Los Angeles. Her work centers around intimate explorations of personal identity, loss and longing, and womanhood.

Recent short films have shown at festivals across the US and internationally including Fantasia Film Festival, Seattle International, Raindance, and Aspen ShortsFest. Her latest documentary work premiered at the LACMA Art+Film Gala and resides publicly in the LA Times short docs section. Other notable credits include Russell Goldman’s thriller short BurnOut (produced by Jamie Lee Curtis) and Hannah Levin's dark comedy GoldenChild (NFMLA winner for Best Short Film (Comedy), starring Levin, Seth Morris, and Gillian Vigman).

Ali holds a degree in Film Studies and English from Wesleyan University. An East Coaster at heart, she grew up between suburban New York and the Jersey Shore, which informs her love for stories about the ocean and the question of where one calls home. She recently wrapped her first feature film, the psychological horror Sweetwater, in New Mexico.
