J. Simon Allen grew up in a working-class family in the America west. Captivated by the moving image from a young age, he moved to Los Angeles and debuted with the award-winning short film, Mr. Marceau. He followed with the ambitious western thriller, The Condemned. Eschewing genre, Allen pursues highly cinematic, character-driven stories told on the broadest of canvases. After more than a decade in Hollywood, Allen is now based on the east coast. As of 2024, he is actively in development on Mean Old World, which will mark his feature film debut.
