Chris Collier was born on August 1, 1973, in Brighton, East Sussex, England. He is a director known for Title (Year) Director. Place and FrightFest: Beneath the Dark Heart of Cinema (2018). As well as working as a documentary filmmaker, he has produced various projects, including; Morbid Fascination: The Nekromantik Legacy (2014) and In Conversation with the Death King (2014). Influenced by the long tradition of British documentaries, Chris is focused on producing personal stories, witnessing lives, finding the extraordinary from within the every day, and sharing the learning.

In contrast to his documentary work, most of Chris's other work is experimental art house where he has made several films, including several one-off installations in collaboration with contemporary pop artist Billy Chainsaw. These works were exhibited at various galleries across London between 2016 and 2018.

Chris's initial work in film was in the sound department, completing the sound design on many projects. This included the sound restoration for the feature documentary The Woods Movie (2015). The initial move to film was a natural progression from music production. While developing future projects, he has continued to work in the sound department and as an editor on several short subjects and feature films. He was a founding partner in the 24 Foot Square production company.
