Ian Allen is a gay Mormon playwright and filmmaker, whom the Church of Latter-Day Saints refused to excommunicate.  In the mid-1800s, Allen's ancestors crossed the United States to settle in Utah with Brigham Young.  Today, Allen is a New York City-based homosexual, whose adult-oriented plays often satirize LDS culture.

Allen is Founder and Artistic Director of Cherry Red Productions, for which he wrote, produced, and directed plays including Angel Shit, Baked Baby, Cannibal Cheerleaders on Crack (Parts 1 and 2), Dingleberries, Malcolm, Poona the Fuckdog, Romeo & Juliatric, Salome, Spamlet, Worm Girl, and Zombie Attack!  Allen directed the original productions of all those plays, many of them while living in the Washington, D.C., area in the late 90s and early 00s.

As a filmmaker, Allen wrote and directed Trapped by the Mormons (2005), a remake of the notorious 1922 anti-Mormon propaganda movie.  He also adapted and directed the theater piece and video "Li'l Care Bear Crash," a satirical reimagining of the 2004 film directed by Paul Haggis - here performed by stuffed animals.
