As a serial entrepreneur, Allen has founded three companies, including Virtuosity Media, a production company dedicated to creating films and television shows that celebrate the human spirit and promote unity.

Via his independent production company, Virtuosity Media, Allen has planned a diverse range of film and television projects, including 14 feature films, 11 television shows, two documentaries, and several alternative television projects.
