BACKGROUND & SPECIAL THANKS:
Summer 2016, Aly attended James Franco's Master Class, where she learned the art of writing and developing a feature length anthology film.
Through improvisations, readings, workshops, and screenings, students collaborated throughout the course to create films that exemplified bold, sophisticated storytelling. The Master Class concluded with the making of feature-length film, produced by Rabbit Bandini, set for release in 2018.
In addition to this Master Class, Aly played roles opposite James in the Emmy Nominated season of AOL Original Series, "Making A Scene" and in an episode he Directed for HBO's, "The Deuce." These experiences inspired her to get out from in-front of the camera as an Actress, and create her own content. "Roaring Tides" is Aly's first Shot-Film debut.
Aly thanks James Franco & Studio 4 NYC Master Class for the education and encouragement to create.
