What It's Like Working with Ali
"Ali Keller is the one that gets shit done. She’s a producer that only finds solutions to problems. She always aims to maintain the vision of the art, as well as boosts morale and keeps things on time."
– Rafeh Mahmud, Director/Co-Writer of In Defense of Civil Society
"The role of a producer is, unfortunately, oft perfunctorily performed. Not so with Ali; she plays the pragmatist, the dreamer, the confidant, and the life-saver with equal measure and the utmost aplomb."
– Ellis Hubschman, DP of In Defense of Civil Society
"What you have with In Defense of Civil Society is an amazingly well produced short film. It is easy as seen here to get caught up in the wonderful writing but all elements of this film work so well. From the cinematography, shot selection, music, sound mixing, and acting there are loads of praise that can be given. This is nothing less than a crowning achievement for all those involved."
