Kevin Patrick Allen - Documentarian whose films largely focus on the essence of endurance, redemption, and traumatic growth.
Notable Works: . "A Good Man - The Jim Tyrer Story": An exploration of the confounding murder-suicide of an NFL player and his wife. . "What Comes Next": An anthology delving into the lives of those wrestling with identity amidst profound challenges, from a severely injured professional athlete to a guilt-ridden war photographer. . "Anna Westin": A tribute shedding light on the tragedy of anorexia. The short documentary was credited for playing a significant role in the passage of federal legislation, leading to improved treatment for eating disorders.
In his early career in radio reporting, Allen covered major U.S. markets like San Francisco, Chicago, Kansas City, and Washington, D.C. His work increasingly involved immersing himself in the stories he covered and his subject's experiences. This approach led him to the death chamber of San Quentin prison, to a wildfire in the Santa Cruz hills where he was inadvertently doused with water from a forestry helicopter to the streets of Chicago where he broadcast live while running the city's annual marathon.
