Chris Collier was born on August 1, 1973, in Brighton, East Sussex, England, a city known for its rich cultural heritage and picturesque coastline. As a director, he has made a significant impact in the film industry, with notable works including "Title" (Year) Director and "Place" (2023),as well as "FrightFest: Beneath the Dark Heart of Cinema" (2018).
In addition to his work as a director, Chris has also ventured into documentary filmmaking, producing a range of projects that showcase his unique storytelling style. His documentary work has been influenced by the long tradition of British documentaries, which have a reputation for being thought-provoking and informative. Chris's documentaries often focus on personal stories, witnessing lives, finding the extraordinary in everyday moments, and sharing the learning process with his audience.
In contrast to his documentary work, Chris has also explored his creative side through experimental art house films. He has collaborated with contemporary pop artist Billy Chainsaw on several one-off installations, which were exhibited at various galleries across London between 2016 and 2018. These projects allowed Chris to express himself in new and innovative ways, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of film.
Chris's journey in film began in the sound department, where he honed his skills as a sound designer and editor. He worked on a range of projects, including the sound restoration for the feature documentary "The Woods Movie" (2015). This experience laid the foundation for his transition into film direction, which was a natural progression from his earlier work in music production.
Throughout his career, Chris has continued to work in the sound department and as an editor on several short subjects and feature films. He was also a founding partner in the 24 Foot Square production company, which allowed him to collaborate with other creatives and bring his unique vision to the screen.
