He believes conversations with cast and crew need to take place at the start of a production, to find out what people’s needs were and they should not be made to feel afraid to ask.
Allen also believes production companies should not be afraid to hold their hands up when mistakes are made.
“I’ve been on so many productions that are terrified at the top from showing weakness, because I think its a fear that it kind of loses the authority,” he said.
However, he said owning up to mistakes shows integrity and “that trickles down, everyone understands that you all want the best for each other”.
Allen said he had not got all the answers, but felt it was good to talk about the issues openly.
“It is a small industry I want to make people want to work with me again,” he said.
“The greatest sign that the stuff I’m doing is moving in the right direction is that people have wanted to come back.”
