Allen Wolf is an award-winning filmmaker, author, podcaster, and game creator.

Allen wrote, directed, and produced the movie adaption of The Sound of Violet that debuted in theaters. The screenplay won numerous accolades, and is based on his novel, which won multiple awards, including two Book of the Year awards. In their review of The Sound of Violet, Kirkus Reviews wrote, "The high-concept narrative is entertaining, well-paced, and highly visual. It's a charming, humorous, and hopeful tale. A quirky, touching love story."

Allen also wrote, directed, and produced In My Sleep which debuted in theaters as the #1 new indie movie on its opening weekend. In My Sleep sold to over 70 countries and garnered awards from nine film festivals. Hollywood Reporter raved, "In My Sleep never rests, a credit to the tight, psychologically astute pacing of filmmaker Wolf."

Allen regularly interviews entertainment professionals for his Navigating Hollywood podcast, ranked as the #6 film interview podcast in the US, and is in the top 2% of the most popular podcasts worldwide.

Allen has also won 39 awards for the games he has created for his company, Morning Star Games. His games have been played by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide and include You're Pulling My Leg!, You're Pulling My Leg! Junior, JabberJot, Pet Detectives, and Slap Wacky!

Allen graduated from New York University's film school summa cum laude. His senior thesis film, Harlem Grace, was a finalist for the Student Academy Awards and the Producer's Guild of America Award.

He married his Persian princess, and they are raising two kids together, Adele (born 2012) and Cyrus (born 2015). He enjoys traveling around the world and listening to people's life stories.
