PRESS RELEASE: Introducing Actor Linda Collins
Actor Linda Collins seems to be on a mission to take on the indie world, and all of its roles. Whatever the genre — drama, dramedy, comedy, horror or even western — Collins is tackling the character and in some instances, she’s even producing the project. From film to short film, to streaming and even Zoom (who here hasn’t been on a Zoom meeting in the past 12 months), Collins brings energy and depth to her work. A one-time symphony musician, Collins has amassed quite a dizzying-amount of projects in just the 2020/2021 filming schedule alone, with several more in production and on the horizon.
