Collin's Early Life and Formative Years
Born on July 5th, 1985, in Pendleton, Oregon, Collin's childhood was deeply rooted in farm life. However, his life took a dramatic turn when his family relocated to Spokane, Washington, where he spent the majority of his formative years. This period was reminiscent of the adventurous spirit depicted in 1980s films, where he would often ride his bike, camp, and explore the great outdoors, always seeking out new and exciting experiences.
The Early Influence of Viable Vision Video Productions
In 2002, Collin discovered Viable Vision Video Productions, a production company run entirely by students. This encounter opened his eyes to the world of film production, introducing him to various aspects such as editing, producing, directing, and writing for the screen. This experience had a profound impact on his future, shaping his passion for filmmaking and setting the stage for his future endeavors.
The Seattle Years and the Birth of Faith vs Fate Productions
As a young adult, Collin relocated to Seattle, Washington, where he attended the Seattle Film Institute. During this period, he developed a film motto and title for his projects under Faith vs Fate Productions, which he founded alongside his wife, Erin. Over the years, they have created a diverse range of projects, including short films, web series, music videos, and features. Their work has been shaped by their daughter, Ondine, who has been an integral part of their creative process.
Current Life and Work
Today, Collin and his family are based in Spokane, Washington, where he continues to draw upon his extensive experience and determination to excel in the film industry. He remains committed to his faith in others and his own work, refusing to accept any fate that may come his way. Instead, he is driven to exceed expectations with every new project, and he hopes to spread his Faith vs Fate determination to everyone he works with, ultimately inspiring a sense of hope and resilience in those around him.
