Director Biography - Tapree Collins, Kevin Fervil

My name is Tapree Collins — I’m an editor, filmmaker, and content creator from Chicago. I first stepped into the world of video production and filmmaking back in high school, around 2015, when the Chicago music scene was booming and making waves worldwide. The cultural influence was undeniable, and I knew I had something to contribute through my skills as a shooter and editor. As time went on, my love for the craft only grew stronger, and I felt a pull to create beyond just music videos. I reached a point where I no longer wanted to only bring other people’s visions to life — I wanted to develop my own. That realization is what led me to the next chapter of my journey.
