Talent

My name is Chris Collins. I’m an Unscripted Senior Producer and Creative. I am a storyteller, art lover, sneaker collector, global explorer, and curator of all things dope.

I grew up in Los Angeles and Oakland, CA, where I always enjoyed storytelling, whether from a book, a song, a campfire tale, or a memory. I've honed my ability to connect with people through the gift of conversation and exposure to diverse cultures. They have influenced my stories, making them funny, emotional, or relatable. I am lucky to have this toolbox to incorporate into my work and transition into a career.

My name is Oluwatoyin Salami. I am affectionately known as T.O. I am first generation Nigerian American. I developed a sense for storytelling from a young age. I was more than a latch key kid. My babysitter was the TV and radio. I love television and film. 

I prefer working in unscripted television because of its spontaneous nature, relatability, and riveting real time updates. To me, life is the best teacher. In my culture, a “griot” is a storyteller whose profession is to preserve cultural traditions. Life’s experiences are my thing. I got my career started with events and festivals. I pivoted to producing during the pandemic. I am so fortunate to be in this industry currently as a Field Producer and Producer-Shooter. My goal is to become a legendary show-runner and to be involved in this industry through as many ways possible.
