BIO
a'Ali DeSousa is an exceptional talent before and behind the lens. He touches your heart with tears and laughter. A mesmerizing gaze or a well placed word reeks with profundity. He is gaining notice as a serene yet powerful and truthful actor.
The quintessential renaissance creative a'Ali DeSousa graces both sides of the lens with authenticity, poignant and impacting storytelling. An up and coming independent filmmaker he is willing to provocatively ask us to look at our stories as humans in a way we are unaccustomed.
He states, "It is a great humility to tell the human story through film. The camera's are our brushes, the actors the paint, and as the director; an artist bearing the burden of truth for all involved until the canvas of the film is premiered. This is my passion, my joy, my mission, my breath."
Beginning his stage and film experience in his teens it is clear that the stream of consciousness that flows through him is undeniably an earnest and clarion call to humanity for compassion and understanding. DeSousa is a legitimate triple threat. An actor's whose talent as a writer and director bodes for a prodigious and promising career. He is a dynamic addition to any project on either side of the lens.
a'Ali is the son of many lands - his father was from the Cape Verdean Islands and his mother from St. Kitts in the Caribbean. Each of his grandparents are of different cultures and ethnicity. Those close to a'Ali and long time friends say perhaps that contributes greatly to his empathetic view of humanity. Also a published author and songwriter, perhaps his most unknown work is his poetry and prose, reminiscent of Gibran, Rumi and Hafiz.
