Chas Allen

Born down South and now soaking up the LA sun, Allen’s a bit of a creative chameleon—screenwriter, producer, and the brains behind a handful of books. One of his wildest rides? "Mr. Pink," which dives right into the jaw-dropping Transylvania Book Heist. Yeah, the same story that lit a fire under the film "American Animals." He even pops up in the movie, chatting about the real-life madness, which is just the kind of meta move you’d expect from the guy. Allen’s not just sticking to books, either. He lent his voice and stories to the film "Stealing Cars," digging into interviews and behind-the-scenes moments. He’s got this knack for true crime and adaptations—turning the chaos and weirdness of real life into something you can’t look away from. Apparently, Hollywood agrees, because his next two books have already been snatched up and are cruising toward the big screen. What’s cool about Allen is he’s not churning out cookie-cutter thrillers. He’s obsessed with the gritty, the bizarre, the “can you believe this actually happened?” stuff. If you get into his work, you’re getting a front-row seat to some of the wildest stories out there, told by a guy who knows how to wring every last drop of drama and humanity from them. All in all, Allen’s got stories for days, and he’s just getting started.
