Allen C. Gardner has been making feature films since high school. Now in his early 40s, married with three kids to support, Allen is facing some decisions about how to make his lifelong obsession a bit more sustainable, but that’s not stopping him from charging forward. He has so many feature films to his name I couldn’t keep track of them all in the interview. What strikes me about talking with Allen is how he keeps forging ahead, undeterred by market realities or really much of anything else. His even temperament, unfettered enthusiasm, and dogged determination to keep making movies in the face of changing circumstances seems to me like not only a model for success but a well-earned reward in its own right.FacebookXInstagramLinktree
