Hello There!

Brandon Allan and Chris Costa on set of “Sunday Skits” 2014.

First off welcome to my first blog EVER! My intentions are to bring you into my world of acting, writing screenplays and to help you understand the process of making your films. So thanks for stopping by and I hope this is fun and informative for you! My name is Brandon Allan (obviously lol, I mean you are on ItsBrandonAllan.com) and I have been acting and writing for about 9 years now. Originally from East Providence, Rhode Island, I moved to Brooklyn, NY in the fall of 2016. I started writing in high school when I was in a rap group with my friends (yes a rap group), and that started me on a path to storytelling. After a few years of writing, recording, and performing I started to slowly realize I just wasn’t that into it. NO REGRETS! It opened my mind to telling stories and shortly after that, I started doing stand up comedy. During this time I signed up for a casting agency and I started doing background work for small and big-budget projects (United America commercials, Johnny Rockets commercials, The Equalizer with Denzel Washington, Ghost Busters with Kristen Wiig, etc). But these jobs were so far in between so I started to write my own little sketches. One day I applied for a local acting gig for a student project and while on set I started talking to the director (IF YOU ARE AN ACTOR I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU CHAT WITH EVERYONE YOU CAN ON SET, NETWORK!). Long story short, we became really good friends, started a film production company and together we’ve produced over 8 short films, over 40 sketches, and 3 seasons for 2 different web-shows. His name is Chris Costa and I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for talking to him that day on set. That’s all for now, see you next time for more details on how I wrote those projects and how Chris and I got around to filming all of them! Take care.
