CERULEAN COLLAR is a Toronto-based cinema collective founded by Cameron Nash, Brendon Saarinen and Allsun Campbell. Cerulean Collar is involved in every stage of original cinema productions, with the aim of producing an unrelentless creative vision.

Allsun Campbell

A graduate of the Cinema Studies program at the University of Toronto, Allsun has always been drawn to both the arthouse films of world cinema and the unapologetic aesthetic of genre films and B-movies. Merging these influences, his work embraces familiar tropes and metaphor to explore conceptual ideas, often rejecting traditional narrative structures and strict realism. Instead, Allsun employs representational imagery to convey themes in a uniquely stylized manner.

Their feature debut, Tape Place, was released in 2018.

Cameron Nash

Fascinated by film movements that challenge the status quo and alternative production techniques, Cameron began experimenting with visual storytelling, eventually leading to the founding of a cinema collective in 2016. He has self-financed a series of micro-budget films, developing a distinct style that embraces improvisation and self-imposed limitations in the filmmaking process. Taking an auteur approach, he often serves as writer, director, cinematographer, and editor.

His feature debut, Dysphoria, was released in 2016. He followed with the short film Colours in Wake (2020) and two Wellington-shot projects, In Hiding (2021) and Like Son (2025).

Brendon Saarinen

As an experimental composer, Brendon draws inspiration from cinematic visuals, shaping his approach to both music and film (Still Life Still, Dead Neighbourhoods, WEARENOTWHOWEARE). His work blends ambient textures, unconventional keys, and layered samples, crafting immersive soundscapes that deepen the thematic resonance of each project.

Collaborating closely with creative partner Eric Mayer, Brendon composes idiosyncratic scores that challenge traditional notions of film music, pushing the boundaries of original composition in cinema.
