About Us

Huw Collins

Huw Collins is a British-American actor, producer, and entrepreneur working across film, television and independent production. Born in London, Huw worked as an actor in the UK before moving to the United States, where he became known for his role as Archer Dunhill/Elliott Rollins in Pretty Little Liars. Subsequently, Huw has increasingly focused on developing and producing film and television projects, including YA drama Kingstown, which was set up at 3 Arts/Warner Bros. Television, building on a career and network that spans both the British and American industries.

Alongside his work in entertainment, Huw is the co-founder of The WHEAT Company, a multi-faceted retail and fashion business he has built with his wife, Molly Shaheen, now established as a market leader in destination retail with a growing global presence. That entrepreneurial experience has informed his approach to production, particularly around financing, company-building, and the commercial realities of bringing creative work to market. His work today sits between those two worlds, with Foreign Value Productions taking particular interest in transatlantic projects and partnerships.
