ALLEN BERREBBI

PRODUCERS

allen_berrebbiOur Producer/Director, Allen fell in love with this idea in 2001 when Kenn Bradley pitched it. Never able to forget about it or let it go, Allen was determined to see this come to fruition. Allen doesn’t believe in the word “if” only “when”.

Allen Berrebbi is the Producer/Director and Head Writer of Access Denied. As a founder of a local sketch comedy group, Allen gained some acclaim with his sketch writing and acting. The comedy group also gained some internet notoriety and developed a significant following. However, while he enjoyed the sketch comedy process (and still does), his heart ached to do more longer form productions such as television sitcoms and independent films.

Determined to no longer make excuses, Allen declared that in 2008 he would produce a full length sitcom once and for all. With the aid of the always young Gia Porras, another member of that same sketch comedy group, it is finally happening.

With over 20 years experience as an entrepreneur and business developer, Allen’s marketing and managerial experience play an important role in the development and success of Access Denied.
