Writer/director S G Collins was born in 1958 in Lawrence, Massachusetts
and grew up in the Merrimack Valley. He began experimenting with film
at age 12. From 1976-1978 he studied film at Emerson College in Boston.
After several freelance DP gigs on indie films, in 1981 he went to work
in Buffalo NY at a small production company called Sherwin Greenberg.
In 1989 he returned to the Boston area and worked as a creative
director with National Boston / NMD until 2002.
Collins spent the first two decades of his professional life involved
in spots, business films and broadcast design work, with little
opportunity for personal and artistic projects. That began to change
with the increasing tech-democratization at the turn of the century. In
2000 he wrote and directed his first dramatic feature, 'The Same Side
of Rejection Street', and the short docu 'Searching for Mister Butch'
in 2002.
In 2003 Collins moved to Amsterdam, NL where he makes business films,
spots, music videos, small documentaries, art films and and essay
films. His production company is called Postwar Media.
