Director Biography - Allie Doody

Allie Doody is a California based Director, Writer and Actor. Though she has lived in many different States, CA is where she calls home. Allie has a B.A. in Theater Arts from San Francisco State University, a place that taught her the entire chain of command in a production. In the summer of 2015 she was one of 14 actors from the states to study abroad at RADA in London. Travel, Allie believes, creates the best stories.

As a little tyke, Allie was the resident weird kid who read Poe and dreamt of far off fantasy worlds. The moment that Allie watched the extended edition of the 2001 Lord of the Rings films she became fascinated with how stories were put on screen. Perhaps, she could create the worlds she had daydreamed of during school. So, this bite-sized gremlin set off on a life long journey to be a storyteller.

She maintains her Youtube channel Allie Finale Studios that contains series such as, Sasha Says (the sassy spy who dispenses wisdom to the masses), The Underrated Actors series, The Soul Catcher Mystery Hour (an audio drama about. Mysterious radio) and game/film reviews. Once she completed her first official short film Knock, she realized she couldn’t get enough of creating her own stories. She enjoys giving people who don’t always see the spotlight a chance.

In the future Allie foresees transforming her audio drama, The Soul Catcher Mystery Hour in a fully fledged tv mini series. This is just the beginning for Allie Finale Studios, so grab that map, a compass, your friendly neighborhood dragon and join Allie on this adventure!

Director Statement

The works of H.G. Welles has fascinated me since I was a little girl. I wanted to try creating a short about the push and pull of gender dynamics. I hope that what watchers take away from Newborn is the sense that even if someone made you, you can follow your own path, not the one they chose for you.
