Hi there! I’m Lucy Allan, a director and editor from Wellington, Aotearoa NZ. Since 2011 I’ve lived in three different countries, immersing myself in all things film — I’ve written and directed short films, created an online series for the BBC, and travelled around Europe filming a number of projects. I’m passionate about telling stories that don’t usually get told and amplifying the voices of people who are often ignored. Creativity, diligence, enthusiasm, and a respect for others’ strengths are my greatest assets, and I value those same qualities in the people I work with.
