Collin Chute is the creator of "Late Night Swim."
He grew up in Alexandria, Va. and attended VCU, where he studied acting and earned a BFA in performing arts. He lives in Los Angeles with his fiancé Candice, and their two dogs. Beyond film making and acting, Collin writes movie and game reviews for Jeawok Media. He is the former host of the podcast Washington Hangover.
Collin is currently working on his next film, "The Hat."
My concept for "Late Night Swim" is both personal and imaginative. I believe it is something we can all relate to. It's about our inability to accept the love around us ... the struggle to be present as we imagine better lives through our phones ...and having the courage to live fully in our choices.
Thank you for taking the time to watch our story.
