Colin George
Colin is an American living in a Canadian’s world. He graduated from film school into a world shockingly devoid of film-related jobs. He makes the best of this curious anomaly by lending his expertise to the internet, hosting the weekly FARCE/Film podcast and contributing reviews to Film Junk. God help this poor, misguided fool.
