He has worked for most independent production companies including Talkback, RDF Media, IWC, BBC New York, September Films, Tiger Aspect and Granada.

Colin enjoys all aspects of production, whether it be filming former politicians talking about the SAS, celebrities in the Australian jungle, actors swimming with whale sharks or teenagers misbehaving in Ibiza. He relishes new challenges and is willing to go the extra mile to ensure any project is a success.

Colin is an innovative, creative and imaginative film maker who likes to think outside the box and enjoys capturing the warmth and humanity (and sometimes the reverse) of those involved in his films. He also prides himself in combining a good story with a sense of humour, where appropriate.

Colin specialises in working under pressure and forming bonds with contributors and celebrities to create intimate films with a strong narrative, covering a range of issues. Previous topics have included problem teenagers, strict parenting, drugs, sexuality, bankruptcy and gender issues.

Colin has extensive technical experience as a camera operator, having self shot many of his own programmes using Sony DSR, Z1, Z7, EX1, EX3, DVX and PD150/170. He is fortunate to have used these skills in many locations around the world - self shooting, working with crew and directing presenters.

Colin is a strong team leader and player, reacting quickly when unplanned situations arise. He deals with difficult situations calmly and has managed teams of up to 25 people and budgets of up to £850k. He brings energy, ideas and passion to every project he works on.
