Biography

Colin recently produced the critically acclaimed feature narrative Ted K which premiered at the 2021 Berlinale, received four-stars from The Guardian, and was acquired by NEON (Parasite, Titane), and helped develop the Academy Award nominated short Winter Light into feature-length God’s Country starring Thandiwe Newton of Westworld, which debuted at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.
