David Allen

Renowned for his work in the realm of stop-motion animation, David Allen was born in 1944 in Los Angeles, California, USA, and was professionally active from the 1960s until his untimely death in 1999. He specialized in the genres of science fiction and fantasy, creating memorable films like "Puppet Master" series and "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids", but despite his prolific output, he never received major film festival awards. His authorial style was characterized by his mastery of stop-motion animation, bringing inanimate objects to life with an uncanny fluidity and realism. David Allen, though not widely recognized, was a true craftsman who breathed life into the inanimate, making us believe, if only for a moment, in the magic of the miniature.
