Colin Michael Day - award winning director and documentary filmmaker based in HollyWood, L.A.. Born to a family of a news cameraman he grew up around local news media rooms in Sacramento and got introduced to journalism from a very young age. He has shot nearly 100 short films profiling some of the art world’s most infamous personalities including legends of the American street art scene: Ralph Steadman, Retna, Doze Green, OS Gemeos, Ben Eine, Anthony Lister, Risk, Revok, ROA, Herakut and Niels Shoe Meuiman.
He has also shot film projects featuring Snoop Dog, Sanjay Gupta and Kyrie Irving. He’s collaborated and created content for broadcasting networks like CBS, CNN and IGN. His films tell stories of rebellion, freedom, social and political, mainstream and underground culture, opening a window to the counterculture world that only an insider might get an access to.
