About Keith Allison
I grew up in a town very much like Centerfield, Kentucky called…Centerfield, Kentucky. Like many Gen X kids, I was largely left to grow up independently as long as I was home in time for dinner or soccer practice. The neighborhood in which I grew up was rural, slowly becoming something more suburban, but you could still find cows and horses in pastures, and the whole place area was surrounded by woods that, at least at the time, seemed dark, vast, and enticing.
At an early age, I developed an interest in horror and science fiction films, stoked by late-night local monster movie broadcasts and reruns of British sci-fi shows on PBS. Along with this came a deep fascination with local legends and folklore. As I got older, those interests expanded to include the small but vibrant punk rock community in nearby Louisville. That led to late night club hopping and parking lot hang outs—all of which I strive to capture in the narrative of Centerfield.
I currently live in Brooklyn, New York and work as a writer and film and pop culture historian, including authoring essays for inclusion in collectors’ edition Blu-Rays of foreign and cult films from the 1960s, 70s; and 80s and writing a book, Cocktails & Capers, a combination of film analysis, history, cultural chronicle, and cocktail recipe book. My connections to the world of the film industry and screenplay writing are, well, non-existent. I’m working on that.
My goal with Centerfield, or one of them, is to represent small town America as I experienced it. In an era dominated by grim rust belt misery in stories about rural communities, I want to offer something different: a diverse cast of characters, most of whom are pretty decent people having a pretty decent time. Not all of them, of course, but most.
And of course, there’s always room for Bigfoot.
