Allencrest Locations was founded by Judy Sillen whose introduction to the industry came through her husband David, a Creative Director in advertising. Her career began with a stroke of serendipity: when an out-of-state location for a national ad campaign suddenly fell through, Judy stepped in and saved the day, finding the perfect space right in Monmouth County, NJ. That moment sparked a 40+ year career with locations all over the tri-state area, built around two things was passionate about: discovering beautiful spaces and connecting with people.

Judy absolutely loved what she did, and after a brief battle with cancer passed away in 2025. Her family, who ar all involved in film production in different capacities, picked up the Allencrest reins. From feature films, commercials, and music videos, to Vogue covers and influencer campaigns, Allencrest has had the privilege of working on hundreds of diverse projects that highlight an incredible variety of locations.
