Colin J. McLaughlin
- Additional Crew
- Script and Continuity Department
- Writer
Colin McLaughlin hails from Carrollton, Texas, a town that is somewhat famous for its high school football and not at all famous for the number of great writers it has produced. Wanting to change that, Colin began writing creatively in the 7th grade. He has dedicated his life to chasing the feeling of validation he felt when he won a fiction writing contest in middle school, and has had middling success on that front. Colin graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Radio-Television Film and inexplicably woke up in Los Angeles the next day.
Since then, he has worked in writer's rooms at Nickelodeon, written episodes of Ben 10 and Power Players on Cartoon Network, and, as a staff writer on the animated adaptation of Magic: The Gathering for Netflix. His script, The Olympians, was the first animated project to be accepted into the Sundance Episodic Story Lab. He most recently completed a feature adaptation of a true story IP for Standing Bear Productions.
