Colin turned a love of movies, obsession with technical geekery, and
acting hobby into a career making films. As a student, he made several
award-winning CGI animations and VFX-driven short films. Since
graduating from Wesleyan University in 2007, he has been working with
Connecticut-based independent production company Synthetic Cinema
International.
In 2011, Colin directed Steve Niles' Remains, the first original
feature for NBCUniversal's Chiller Network. He has since directed two
additional features for the network: Dead Souls and Deep in the
Darkness, both based on novels by Michael Laimo. His next film will be
Wishin' and Hopin', a Christmas story about a 10 year old boy in 1964
based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Wally Lamb.
In addition to directing, Colin produces for SCI and also supervises
post production and VFX, delivering films on time and on budget.
He believes that a good director should know what everyone on set does
and how they do it, setting the tone for the cast & crew with his
energy. You'll usually find Colin standing by camera, close to the
performance.
