Collin O’Brien is a Writer and Director, based in Los Angeles, who created award-winning films such as Finding Happy and The Bounty. This publicized interest inspired him to create his own film company, Boru Productions, whose name is lent to Collin’s interest in historical based fiction.
In addition to creating his own films, Collin has practiced various roles on film sets to land as a highly skilled 1st Assistant Director.
Before working in Film Industry, Collin started his career working in the Oil Industry as Field Engineer after receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering.
Here he worked on large pressure pumping operations but, after a few years, his drive for storytelling inspired him to leave his oilfield career and pursue a path in the film industry.
