My Journey - So Far...

​I've always been interested in film, but it took some time to get to where I am. My freshman year of college, I studied Computer Science with hopes of working my way to a Creative Director position for some sort of video game.

Even when I was learning how to code, I had a heart for storytelling. I found myself dissatisfied with the work I was doing and the career I was working for... So, at the end of Freshman year (and a whole lot of honesty later), I admitted to myself and my family that I was unhappy. I knew there was something more.  

That summer, I searched for things that gave me joy in life. I found myself scrolling through the Fine Arts programs that my college offered. Digital Film Production with an Emphasis on Screenplay... Am I really doing this? 

I'd like to say that the transition was easy - that I was sold out and never had a doubt in my mind. But man, do I like to overthink. I had this brutal back and forth for months. I was finally doing something that I actually enjoyed, but was petrified by the fear of failing, or somehow falling short of the expectations of those around me.
​
I had to change my rigid definition of success. And slowly and surely, I did.

Since then, I've thrown myself into my work. I've written, acted and now, produced professionally in Arizona and Seattle over the past six years. 

Moral of the story, I love what I do and I will never stop living out my passion. I know it will be a difficult road with many obstacles and plenty of rejection, but it's the one I've chosen.

Now, I have a confidence in God and myself that Collin, six years ago, did not have. 
​
​And hey, nothing incredible has ever happened when somebody was comfortable, right? So, let's get to work.

Glad you're here. Thank for sharing this journey with me. Hope you're well. - Collin Fischer
