Colton grew up in Utah and as his passion for film began at the age of 12 when he directed, produced and edited his own independent film. After graduating High School, he directed a short film called "Unpleasantville." That film toured the nation in the festival circuit, which gained recognition from agents in Los Angeles. Colton made the move to Hollywood and two months into living in this new city, he was signed by a manager and later an agent at CAA. In 2014, Colton landed a role in the Disney Channel movie "Cloud 9," which helped him grow as a director not only on the technical side, but learning how to direct actors more effectively. He is excited about the many projects he has in post-production and development.
