Collin is a genre screenwriter and part-time voice of his generation based in Los Angeles. He is the creator and host of the sci-fi podcast DEEP SPACE RADIO, with thousands of daily listeners worldwide.

Collin is repped by Stephen Crawford at Industry Entertainment. His award-winning scripts, including REAPER OF RED OAK, THE PRESIDENT’S THIEF, and THE OSLO EXPRESS, have been described as “literally the best scripts I’ve ever read” by close friends and family members alike.
