Collin Poseley · Founder

Collin Poseley.
A story built across disciplines.

Collin Poseley is the founder of Skyrider Storyworlds—a theater kid turned filmmaker and educator. His work brings the shared experience of theater, the visual possibilities of cinema, and an attention to how people learn and grow into the same creative practice.

Collin studies cinema at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and holds a Master of Education from California State University, Sacramento. Those paths meet in Skyrider: a production company developing original music-driven worlds across recordings, cinema, performance, and immersive storytelling.

His work includes award-winning original educational content, bringing his interests in storytelling, movement, and learning into his creative practice.

For Collin, developing a production also means developing the conditions around it: collaboration, access, and room for artists to contribute. A world takes shape through the people who write it, sing it, move through it, and bring it to an audience.

The creative approach

Three disciplines.
One way of making.

01 / THEATER

The shared experience.

Character, music, movement, and an audience in the room. Theater is the starting point for stories that people can experience together.

02 / FILM

A wider canvas.

Cinema brings scale and visual detail to the work, giving songs and characters a world beyond the stage.

03 / EDUCATION

Room to grow.

An educator’s perspective keeps development, collaboration, and the conditions artists need to grow at the center of the process.

Sacramento roots

Create here.
Perform here.
Build something that lasts.

Bring the scale home.

Sacramento is the creative home of Hidden Tide and central to Collin’s vision for Skyrider. He is bringing his Los Angeles cinema training into a project designed to grow in the region and reach audiences beyond it.

The ambition is a lasting production that can return and evolve. The long-term plan for Hidden Tide places creative development, rehearsals, recordings, music-video production, and live performance in Sacramento.

That vision extends to the people and places around the work: performers, musicians, technicians, designers, filmmakers, rehearsal spaces, and venues. A recurring production can help sustain local creative activity while giving audiences a reason to visit and return.
