Allison Margaret Reid is an accomplished writer-producer based in Los Angeles. Raised in the suburbs of Atlanta by an orthopedic surgeon and an elementary school librarian, Allison jokes that growing up bisexual in a Christian household led to repression that she’s still unpacking… but also gave her a deep understanding of the importance of representation in pop culture. A high school thespian, she discovered her passion for movies at her local Blockbuster Video, which brought her to study film at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts.
Allison’s career began with internships at Adult Swim and Focus Features. She rose from Executive Assistant at Universal Pictures to Story Editor for producer Beau Flynn, and then to Director of Development at Scott Free, where she was the on-set Associate Producer for the film JUNGLELAND (TIFF 2019). Allison further honed her craft by earning an MFA in Writing for Film & TV from Emerson College, where she was named Outstanding Student of the Year. In 2021, she became Script Coordinator for an AMC Networks TV drama. Today, she teaches a seminar on “Producing for Screenwriters” to Emerson College MFA students.
As a screenwriter, Allison’s scripts have received accolades from Austin Film Festival, Ivy Film Festival, and Stowe Story Labs. Her narratives explore the intricacies of relationships by blending elements of romance, magic, and coming-of-age experiences across a wide range of genres. Committed to amplifying diverse stories through development and production, Allison is excited to offer her insights and passion to help guide and inspire screenwriters in bringing their distinctive stories to the screen.
