About Colin

I am an award winning filmmaker who has been honing my creative talents in the screen industry for over ten years. His dreams of becoming a filmmaker started at an early age when films like Night of the living dead, Robocop and Jaws captured my imagination.

I have has written and directed over a dozen short films and music videos including the award-winning projects Hangnail (2020), Presents (2019), and Presence (2013).

My most recent film Hangnail has become a viral sensation, premiering exclusively at Dread Central and garnishing over 10,000 views online. It has also screened at over twenty festivals around the world and won five awards including, Best Special Effects, Best Original Score and Goriest Film.

I'm currently finishing my next body horror film Stitches and am in development on my first micro-budget feature.
