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.
