About Us

We are the Allied Union. The group's members are Ian Jenkins, Rob Trowbridge, Seth Keeler, and Jeremey VanAllen: a group of four friends that's gone from middle school to high school and beyond. However, we're more than just a group of friends. We are partners in business. What we do, we do together. Along with the Allied Union Associates, we have created the entertainment company called Allied Union Productions. On this site, you will find information about us as individuals and our current projects.

The Allied Union

Ian Jenkins

One of the four original members of the Allied Union, he was involved with Allied Union Productions somewhat later with the projects. Possessing an infinite amount of ideas and inspirations, Ian is a designated director because of his skills of portraying a story, as he showed in the movie The Liberation of Jeremey Van Allen. Formally a student at Lyndon State College in Vermont, he is studying journalism as a major.

Robert Trowbridge

Another original member of the Allied Union, he was one of the people originally responsible for a pursuit in making movies. Robert is a very dedicated towards Allied Union Productions. Robert, along with the other members, are constantly trying to find ways to improve the quality of AUP's work. While acting, Robert is also skilled behind the camera and post-production editing. Robert is currently attending Suny Institute of Technology as a Computer Science major.

Seth Keeler

Another original member of the Allied Union, Seth and Robert were the original "pioneers" into filmmaking within the Allied Union to establish Allied Union Productions. Seth had been able to fully utilize Windows Movie Maker, a big step for Allied Union Productions. Having a knack to answer the questions needed to make a movie, Seth is naturally a producer, thinking of the ideas and finding the resources for the project. While being a Communications major, After working out his transfer from Green Mountain College in Vermont to SUNY Fredonia, he is working out a double major in Photography and Digital Television & Film.

Jeremey VanAllen

One of the last original member of the Allied Union and star of AUP's "hit" movie The Liberation of Jeremey Van Allen, Jeremey jumped into filmmaking about the same time as Ian did. According to the production notes, Jeremey had no idea that we were making a movie at first. Having an uncanny ability to adapt himself to whatever situation he is put into, Jeremey is an actor through and through. He is currently a Criminal Justice student at Columbia-Greene Community College.

The Associates

Troy Nostrand

Troy was the star in the earliest of AUP's short films, "Troy's Day At Work." After his debut, he sure has been a mainstay in the cast of Allied Union Productions. No one has been able to take more hits for the project than Troy... except maybe Randy the Mexican. With a dented steel plate in his head and always having a way to make a scene go from exceptional to maniacal, Troy is always a good man to work with. His role as a source of ideas, co-director and mainstay actor make him a very important member of the team.

Randy "The Mexican" Stuker

No one can bring the house down like Randy, and he proved it in his on-screen debut in "Mexican's Revenge" from the Allied Union Anthology. His comic act and willingness to perform whatever stunt is needed for the sake of the film, make him a great asset and a funny-as-hell fellow. Not much else can be said about the worst case of ADD to grace the cast and crew of Allied Union Productions.

Joe Barone

Joe was another person who helped with the original idea behind "Troy's Day At Work", being a fellow co-worker of Troy and Rob. Joe's bold personality helped him get his role as the evil manager of Shop-Rite, and one of the better actors that AUP has had to work with. He also took part in the "Mexican's Revenge" short as well.
