Allison Raskin was born and raised in Scarsdale, NY, which is the town mentioned in RENT by Mark’s mother. Despite being beautiful and infamous, it never felt like home and Allison spent her last two years of high school in Connecticut at Choate Rosemary Hall. While at boarding school, Allison realized two things: 1) Never send your child to boarding school 2) Take risks or you will die of boredom. So Allison applied to USC’s BFA screenwriting program and somehow got in by submitting a short story about killing a cow that starred a pedophile.
 
Allison is now a writer, improviser, stand up comic and director. Comedy is her lifeline. It is how she interacts with the world and annoys her family over group texts. Since graduating, Allison has continued to write and produce an ungodly amount of web content that has been featured on Funny Or Die and the home page of her mother’s iPad. She hopes to one day write and direct features that make people think while they make you laugh. She also starred in a Payless commercial, which was very exciting for people she hasn’t seen in years.

In a universe inhabited by those who are trying to force-fabricate video material that “speaks” to youth culture, ADOLESCENT blasts through the galaxy in a spaceship full of young directors (13 – 25 years old), on the fuel of their exuberance, energized by the great-bang stardust of their determination. Free of encumbrances such as cynicism or rules. Our pack of savant directors, (filmmakers, photographers, illustrators and visual effects wunderkinds) collectively create magic. Pursuing excellence, innovation and the occasional intake of astronaut freeze dried ice cream.
