About Ali

Ali May is a writer and producer. His original series Revolution has been acquired by Spiro Films (Israel) and is being co-developed with Haut et Court (France), on which Ali is also EP. It is an exciting 8-part series that (for the first time on TV) tells the story of the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran and its consequences from an Iranian perspective. Ali is also the co-writer of The Arctic Sea for Vertigo Films (Finland), with Matti Laine. Inspired by true events of the hijacking of the cargo ship, the series tells the story of one of the biggest maritime puzzles since the Mary Celeste mystery. Ali was a development consultant to Alexander Rodnyansky and his company AR Content on Red Rainbow, a series that went on to win the best project in Series Mania Forum 2021.

In his previous life, Ali has made documentaries for the BBC, worked as the UK Correspondent for euronews and Middle East Reporter for Bloomberg, interviewed world leaders, Hollywood stars and TV industry executives, and published a book of erotic fiction.

Ali has completed Storytelling for Scripted Television with John Yorke (MediaXchange) and Writing an Original TV Drama with Colin Teevan (Curtis Brown Creative). He has a master’s degree in Creative Writing.

He is British-Iranian, speaks three languages fluently (and dabbles in a couple more), and is a member of the Society of Authors and the Royal Television Society in the UK.
