Keith Collins Interview
In this powerful interview, we sit down with Keith Collins II, a Cleveland-raised filmmaker, director, stunt coordinator, and fight choreographer whose work blends raw storytelling with physical craft.
From growing up in Ohio to training in martial arts from a young age, Keith breaks down how discipline, survival, and creativity shaped his path to independent filmmaking. We discuss directing action films on limited budgets, choreographing fights that feel authentic, navigating the indie film circuit, and what it means to build something from the ground up without waiting for permission.
Keith also opens up about:
• Turning martial arts into cinematic language
• The realities of indie film life beyond the highlight reels
• Directing versus performing stunts
• Building opportunities outside Hollywood
• Advice for filmmakers, fighters, and creatives coming up behind him
This conversation isn’t about shortcuts or overnight success. It’s about craft, consistency, and carving your own lane.
