Meet Allison Margaret Reid, the creative force behind Popular Cultured. Allison’s a writer, producer, and all-around pop culture aficionado who’s been obsessed with movies, TV, music, and books since before “Netflix and chill” was even a thing. She believes that stories—especially the ones that break the mold—can change the world, one binge-watch at a time.
Allison’s Hollywood street cred? Let’s just say she’s rolled with the best: from Ridley Scott’s Scott Free to Universal Pictures, Focus Features, and Flynn Picture Company. She’s been the development exec in the room, the producer making dreams happen, and the writer bringing unforgettable characters to life. (If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind the curtain, it’s probably her, pulling the creative strings.)
