About Allen Liedkie

Favourite Book & Film?

Jurassic Park – both the book and film are my favourite. Both the book and the film vividly captured my imagination and made me realise that the power of both storytelling and film making have to whisk you away from reality and immerse you in another world.

What Inspires You?

A night sky painted with a bright full moon and billions of galaxies to gaze at in awe and wonder. An awesome reminder that we are just a speck in a vast universe full of potential, possibility and the power to realise any reality we desire.

Lifetime Ambition?

To be in a 90’s style rap video as a geeky nerd serving made dance skills on the hood of a Bentley.
