Sports films, romantic comedies and one hour television dramas
A native of Chicago’s north shore, Colleen has always had a passion for storytelling and cinema. After obtaining a degree in journalism from the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University, Colleen served in the United States Peace Corps as a volunteer in Kyrgyzstan. She later received an MFA in Screenwriting from Loyola Marymount University’s School of Film and Television, graduating at the top of her class. Prior to launching her development and production venture, she first worked at the Gersh Agency in Beverly Hills. She then helped open the LA-based office of Random House Studios, focusing on book-to-television adaptations. In 2015, Colleen went to work with veteran producer Matthew Baer (UNBROKEN), and together they produced the indie film THE BACHELORS, starring Academy Award winner J.K. Simmons, as well as the sequel UNBROKEN: PATH TO REDEMPTION for Universal 1440 Entertainment. Four Leaf is Colleen’s first solo foray into independent producing. She currently has a romantic comedy in development at Lightworkers, a division of MGM, as well as a television series setup at Amazon.
