Writer, director, and producer Dennis Allen comes from a long line of storytellers. Inupiat Eskimo on his father’s side, and Gwich’in Indian on his mother’s, their storytelling influence is the foundation of Allen’s film and television work. He lives in Whitehorse Yukon with his wife and two children. He is also a musician.
