Interesting facts

Colin is a 2008 British zombie film written and directed by Marc Price. After a successful run in a number of film festivals, it went on to be shown at Cannes in 2009. Applauded for its success despite its low budget, the total cost of production was reportedly £45. The director, actor and comedian Marc Price, shot Colin on a standard definition Panasonic mini-dv camcorder that he had owned for 10 years and edited the film on his home PC using Adobe Premiere 6 software which had come bundled with a video capture card he'd purchased a few years earlier. Facebook and Myspace were used to gather actors to play the zombies.

Production

As a fan of zombie films, Marc Price wanted to do something different by telling a story from the zombie's perspective, not being aware of I, Zombie from 1998. Although I, Zombie handles the topic differently, with the protagonist gradually deteriorating over the full film, Price said that if he had known about its existence, he probably wouldn't have made Colin.

The film was shot in London using friends and professionals who worked free to build their portfolio. Shooting took 18 months.
