Dan Allen

Dan is an award-winning director, writer and editor from the UK, working in narrative fiction. He completed his debut feature film, "Unhinged" in 2017, which received international distribution via 88 Films and eOne entertainment. In 2018, his #3MinuteHorror series received acclaim, amassing over 2 million views online and was licensed by Crypt TV. Episode one, "The Mime", has since screened at Bafta and Oscar qualifying Leeds International Film Festival, Vortex, Rhode Island international Film Festival, among others. After being fascinated with magic and a 'Making of Jurassic Park' book in his childhood (whilst also consuming a healthy dose of Star Wars), he started making experimental films with a LEGO webcam when he was about 9 years of age. Dan wrote his first short film whilst undergoing chemotherapy for Hodgkin's Lymphoma Cancer in his penultimate year of secondary school in Essex UK. The film went on to win the 'Best Young Filmmaker' award at Coca-Cola Cinemagic Film Festival in 2009.
