Ari Esposito is a New York-based writer, director, and production professional working across narrative film, television, and live entertainment. Her experience spans creative development, production, and talent-facing roles, giving her a strong understanding of both the creative process and the people and logistics that bring a project together.

Ari began her career in writing and directing, developing narrative, documentary, music video, and commercial work while simultaneously building substantial on-set experience. Early opportunities in assistant directing placed her in leadership positions on independent productions and later within professional film and television crews, giving her an unusually broad understanding of how creative ideas move from development through production. That experience continues to inform her work as a director, particularly in communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and working with performers.

She is currently writing her first feature film while working as a Director’s Assistant in the feature film world and as a Producer’s Assistant on live productions. Throughout her career, Ari has frequently worked directly with actors, artists, and talent. A natural people person, she has flourished in these positions, building trusted professional relationships through strong communication, discretion, adaptability, and an instinct for understanding what people need in demanding environments.

Talent relations has become a natural extension of that work. Ari continues to build her experience across talent, production, and creative roles, including opportunities that bring together her relationships with performers and her background as a filmmaker.

Alongside her professional production work, Ari continues to write and direct her own projects, with a particular interest in character, performance, and the relationships at the center of a story.
