Alison Cohen

Alison Cohen – born in 1969, somewhere in the States, not that she brags about it – has become a bit of a behind-the-scenes legend in film circles. She’s the kind of producer who doesn’t need the spotlight, but somehow the really interesting projects seem to find her. Look at her track record: Misanthrope (2023) – dark, edgy, just a little off-kilter – that’s got her fingerprints all over it. You can almost tell when she’s been involved; the story digs under your skin, characters feel raw, and nothing’s wrapped up in a neat little bow. Then there’s Novocaine, supposedly dropping in 2025. Not much has slipped out about that one yet, but if you’ve seen her earlier work, you know to expect something sharp, maybe even a little bit weird – in a good way. She doesn’t gravitate toward the safe stuff. And don’t forget The Rover (2014). Bleak, brutal, and somehow magnetic. That film was all grit and dust and desperation, and her steady hand as a producer kept it from going off the rails. She doesn’t do cookie-cutter. Alison’s projects have bite, and she’s got a knack for picking stories that stick with you long after the credits roll. People in the industry talk – and when Alison Cohen’s attached to a film, they pay attention. She’s not loud, but her work speaks volumes. If you’re looking for the usual Hollywood fluff, keep walking. But if you want something with real teeth, well, Alison’s name is probably in the credits.
