Diversity & Inclusion From Vision Loss to Visionary: How Allen Brown II Reclaimed His Purpose
|
Posted By: Tanisha Grant on January 26, 2026 Independent filmmaker Allen Brown II will host NO PERMISSION, a private screening of his new film Fang Jackson and the official introduction of LLOID (Let?s Live On Intelligent Designs), a creator-owned film and membership brand built to support independent work outside traditional Hollywood and ad-driven systems.? Held at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts, the evening centers on the premiere of Fang Jackson, a 1945-set period thriller exploring power, legacy, and identity through the eyes of a child caught between competing worlds. More than a screening, the night marks the first chapter of LLOID, a film-first initiative designed to allow independent creators to sustain their work without waiting for permission from industry gatekeepers.? Allen Brown II is an independent filmmaker, editor, breakdancer, father, and lifelong creator who did not emerge through traditional Hollywood pipelines, film school networks, or industry connections. His journey into filmmaking was shaped by years of community service, including work with unhoused communities and at-risk youth. A life- altering injury that resulted in the loss of his eye became a turning point, redirecting his focus towards storytelling, faith, and creative purpose. Allen is also the creator of I?m Housin? and Fang Jackson. His work is raw, intentional, and rooted in cultural memory, focusing on the small moments that shape identity, resilience, and legacy. He is not chasing fame, but building a sustainable path that allows creators to retain control of their work while connecting directly with their audience. Following its private launch, LLOID will roll out in phases, expanding access through a subscriber-supported membership model while maintaining its core commitment to creator ownership, sustainability, and direct audience support. The approach allows LLOID to grow intentionally while meeting audiences where they already are. Followers can stay connected with Allen Brown II on Instagram, Tik Tok, and YouTube?
