Nicola Collins was born in London, England, where, as a teenager, she began fashion modeling and traveling the world for clients such as Vogue, Elle & Stella McCartney. It was during this time that critically acclaimed director Guy Ritchie approached Nicola and her twin sister Teena to appear in his film, Snatch. Despite her success in front of the lens, Nicola's truest passion is with what happens behind it. She has always had a camera close by since the age of 14 and has shot magazines, album covers and she has her first photography exhibition in London 2009. It is this love of imagery, combined with an intense passion for film that inspired her to become a filmmaker. She directed, shot & wrote her first feature film The End (2008), which has won 5 awards including the Harrell Award for "best newcomer director" and has been nominated for another 5 awards at film festivals worldwide. The End was also presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art in 2008. She lives in Los Angeles with her twin sister. Hide
