Collin Schiffli, a native of Fort Wayne, Indiana, was nurtured in a creative environment from a tender age, exhibiting a profound affinity for drawing, painting, music, and visual storytelling. His artistic inclinations were further refined during his tenure at Columbia College in Chicago, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Film Directing.
Collin's professional journey, spanning over a decade, has been marked by a fruitful collaboration with his brother, Brandon Schiffli, a skilled screenwriter. Together, they have worked tirelessly in Los Angeles, crafting compelling narratives that captivate audiences.
In 2014, Collin's feature film debut, Animals, garnered widespread acclaim, securing a special grand jury award at the SXSW Film Festival and earning top honors at The Midwest Independent Film Festival's BMAs in Chicago. The film also received accolades at the Virginia Film Festival and Chicago Critics Film Festival, solidifying Collin's reputation as a talented filmmaker.
Collin's sophomore effort, All Creatures Here Below, was distributed by Samuel Goldwyn Films and received a New York Times Critic's Pick, as well as glowing reviews from the Los Angeles Times. The film's critical success is evident in its impressive 71% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, despite its polarizing subject matter.
In 2021, Lionsgate acquired North American rights to Collin's third film, Die In A Gunfight, a departure from his previous work in terms of tone, yet continuing to explore the themes of love and hope in a lavish and stylized manner.
