Allan Moyle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Allan Moyle is a Canadian-born film director.
His first major film wasTimes Square (1980). During the editing of the film he clashed with producer Robert Stigwood who reportedly wanted dialogue scenes removed and replaced with more musical sequences, so that the accompanying soundtrack recording could be expanded to a double-album. Moyle refused to make the cuts so Stigwood fired him and made the cuts himself.
In the eighties he wrote a novel that was never published but became the basis for his screenplay of his movie Pump Up the Volume.
Moyle has since directed Pump Up the Volume (1990), The Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag (1992), Empire Records (1995), New Waterford Girl (1999) - for which he won the Best Direction Canadian Comedy Award in 2001, XChange, and the made-for-TV movies Jailbait (2000) and Man in the Mirror: The Michael Jackson Story (2004). His most recent film, Weirdsville, debuted at and headlined the 2007 Slamdance Film Festival in January. The film's stars include Taryn Manning.
