About Allison

Allison's goal is to get the world dancing by bringing the grace of Fred & Ginger back to the big screen!

After getting her BA in Theater from the University of Kentucky, she moved to LA where she danced in independent musical productions on both the stage and screen. She quickly realized she was going to have to write the movies she wanted to see. She has trained for 20 years in Ballroom and Latin dance. She has had the good fortune to study with "Dancing with the Stars" professionals, Blackpool finalists, and World Champions, among others. Allison found everything on the dance floor: true love, her purpose, a stalker...so she pours all of her experiences into her screenplays and we all come out laughing in the end. (Well, maybe not the stalker;)

She optioned her first screenplay in 2012, shortly after having her second child. But, when it expired (the option, not the child) she had two kids under the age of three who didn't understand why she looked at that screen so much. Allison reluctantly admitted writing had to take a backseat. Now that her kids are old enough to burn their own grilled cheese, she gets to throw herself back into the full time pursuit of her dreams. During the pandemic, Ms. Johnson wrote, produced, and directed four short films; two of which won Special Mention in the One-Reeler Shorts Competition. In 2022, one of her screenplays was a quarterfinalist in Stage 32's RomCom Screenplay Competition.

The world needs a reason to dance now more than ever. Allison's scripts have been called "laugh-out-loud funny", "enchanting", and "the movie the world needs right now". And because Allison's personal loves have included a Japanese man, a Dominican man, and a Black American (with whom she created the aforementioned culinary angels) she often writes about interracial life/couples. So, if you're looking for diverse, fun, feel-good screenplays - ask her to dance!
