Meredith Collins
Greater Good Challenge Coach; CEO and Co-Founder of Hookist by Perspicacity, LLC
Meredith Collins is the founder of Hookist.com -- the first collaborative songwriting platform where fans, music lovers and aspiring artists can write original songs with their favorite artists, often for charity, raising money and awareness for such issues as addiction, mental health, Haiti and cancer. Hookist has prompted songwriting with Grammy winners and multi-platinum artists, like Paul Williams, Jack Tempchin, Spin Doctors, Gary Lucas and Crash Test Dummies.
Collins was one of the earliest female camerapeople accepted into the exclusive International Cinematographer’s Guild. She was also one of the only female technical crewpeople working on such big-budget and award-winning films as The Insider (Pacino/Crowe), The Mirror Has Two Faces (Streisand/Bridges) and Meet Joe Black (Pitt/Hopkins).
