Allie is a native Mississippian who’s been living and working in Yucatán, Mexico for nearly a decade as a documentary photographer, filmmaker and a producer of various audio visual productions and not for profit projects. Allie has worked on productions large and small, from foreign, reality TV shows to local Yucatecan short films to independent documentary films. Her first feature documentary experience as a cinematographer and community advocate for the film, Jats’uts Meyah (2020), solidified her love of filmmaking.
