Ally Pankiw made her TV directing debut with Netflix’s Feel Good, created by comic Mae Martin. Pankiw directed and EP-ed the show’s first season, which was critically acclaimed as one of the best series of 2020 and boasts a "100% Fresh” score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Pankiw has since directed on Hulu’s Shrill, starring Aidy Bryant, on Tony McNamara’s Emmy-nominated comedy, The Great, with Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult, and helmed the much lauded “Joan Is Awful” episode of Netflix’s Black Mirror, starring Annie Murphy and Salma Hayek. Her latest Black Mirror episode that she directed, “Common People,” starring Rashida Jones, and Chris O’Dowd, was nominated for two Emmys. She has also written on two seasons of Schitt’s Creek as a story editor and has co-written multiple projects with Dan Levy, including a feature for Marc Platt Productions and Universal Pictures, and an adult animated sitcom called Standing By for 20th Century Animation and Hulu. She recently completed directing a block on Peacock’s new original series, Ponies, created by Susanna Fogel and David Iserson, which stars Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson.

In 2024, Pankiw wrote, directed, and served as EP on her first film, Utopia’s I Used To Be Funny, starring Rachel Sennott. It premiered at SXSW, and was honored as a Critics Pick by both The New York Times and Globe & Mail on release. It now streams on Netflix. Her latest feature, Hulu’s Lilith Fair: Building A Mystery, just made its world premiere at TIFF to rave reviews and is now streaming as a Hulu Original.

In addition to her work in film and TV, Pankiw has built an impressive career in music videos and branded content. She has helmed ad campaigns for top brands and publications like Amazon, adidas, Chanel, Neutrogena, Loewe, Sephora, NYLON, MTV and The Ad Council. She has also directed and produced videos with artists such as Ariana Grande, Phoebe Bridgers, and Sabrina Carpenter.
