In 2015, Collie began working at Joe Wright’s Shoebox Films in London as the junior production exec under producers Paul Webster and Guy Heeley, the team behind ATONEMENT, LOCKE, and many more of the UK’s most successful features. Films released whilst he was there include PAN for Warner Bros, DENIAL starring Rachel Weisz, and THE ESCAPE with Gemma Arterton. In production at time of leaving was Steve Knight’s SERENITY starring Matthew McConaughey, and Oliver Parker’s ensemble comedy SWIMMING WITH MEN.

Collie then began coordinating post production for Working Title Films on pictures such as Rowan Atkinson starrer JOHHNY ENGLISH STRIKES AGAIN, Danny Boyle/Richard Curtis’ Beatles-based comedy YESTERDAY and separately on Lenny Abrahamson’s THE LITTLE STRANGER.

Collie started his own label Forty Foot Pictures in 2014.
