Alice Vial was born in 1986 in Paris. After making her debut in a dramatic arts school in Paris and playing in several series and short films, Alice is oriented herself towards the writing of screenplays and directing. Her first feature screenplay, The Immortals,  received a Beaumarchais scholarship and was finalist of the Sopadin Award for Best Junior Screenplay 2009.

Alice won the Grand Jury Prize at the International Festival of Screenwriters for her short The man who knew a ray, it was written in the framework of a 48 hours marathon in 2010. The short was produced in 2013 by Easy Tiger. The man who knew a ray was broadcast on France 3 and was selected in several festivals. Since then, Alice has directed three other short films, all produced by Les Films du Cygne: French it up!, Wolf Head and the latest The Winkles (César 2018 Best Short Film).

As a screenwriter, Alice co-wrote the feature film The Innocents with Sabrina B. Karine, it was directed by Anne Fontaine and was released in February 2016. The feature film was nominated for the Best Script at Césars 2017. The film was selected at the Sundance Film Festival and was also short-listed to represent France for the Oscars. Alice also co-wrote an episode of the series Marjorie for France 2. She collaborated on the series Great for OCS and co-created the web series Loulou, in development by Arte Creation. She has also been a screenplay consultant on the film Five, released in 2016.

Today Alice continues to co-write feature films and series, but her burning desire is to make her feature film debut, currently in development. As an actress she plays the female lead, notably in the first film of Palmashow, The mad story of Max & Léon, which was released in 2016.

Alice is a member of a groups of screenwriters know as Les Indélébiles and Mafia Princesse.
