Alan Williams
A Tucson based indie filmmaker, Alan is developing his feature film "Zero Saved", a gritty tale based on his experiences working for two plus decades as a paramedic in a busy EMS system. In addition, he is shooting a feature length psychological thriller called "8000 Feet Up" (working title) while writing a feature screenplay based on the CIA exploits in Angola.

Alan Williams studied film production at the University of Arizona and, in 1993, his efforts would culminate in his film school opus, The Pigeon Sanctuary (1994). After graduating, he formed the short-lived production company, Guerilla Cult Cinema where he wrote his first feature screenplay "The Sandstorm." Alan would eventually dissolve Guerilla Cult to focus on writing, quickly finding himself in the spotlight when he was a finalist in the 1999 Arizona Film Office Screenwriting Competition with his second feature outing "The Matrix Alternative", later re-titled "The Sapien Index". Another feature screenplay, "Myth and Women" soon followed, leading to his being commissioned to write "Hearts and Diamonds" that, to his amusement, was to be developed into a soft-core film, whereabouts still unknown. In 2004, he would re-edit The Pigeon Sanctuary (1994) for a 10th anniversary screening and re-title the newer, shorter version "The Pigeon Sanctuary: Redux." While working as a paramedic technical consultant (uncredited) in "Cut Off", producer Gino Cabanas would challenge Alan to prove himself as an aspiring director and write and direct his own short. Nine months later, Alan met the challenge with his completed short "featurette," On a Clear Day (2007). In March of 2007, Alan's screenplays "Myth and Women" and "The Sapien Index" took 1st and 3rd place at the Peoria Film Festival. "The Sapien Index" went on to place in the Top 20 as a semifinalist in the 2008 Phoenix Film Festival Screenplay Competition. On a Clear Day (2007) would make appearances at several festivals in 2007 and it's success would inspire him to jump into his next project and in 2008 he wrote, directed and produced the experimental short The Human Condition (2008) which premiered at the 2008 Arizona International Film Festival, won Honorable Mention from The Accolade Competition and enjoyed success on the festival circuit. In 2011, his documentary on Tucson, Arizona's infamous 4th Avenue, The Avenue (2011), won the Best of Arizona at the 2011 Arizona International Film Festival. He would later become a Producer on the feature film "The Drama Club" (2017), directed the pilot for a series titled "You Only Live Twice" (2019) and was an Associate Producer on "Dustwun" (2020) which is currently garnering awards on the festival circuit. He lives with his wonderful wife and children in Tucson, Arizona where he and his wife own and operate Milo Fitness Factory.
