ABOUT
Quinn P. Smith was born in Berkeley, CA and spent his childhood, skipping rocks, daydreaming, catching bugs and eating soft serve ice cream on the shores of Cape Cod. He graduated with a History degree from University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth and chased his daydreams to Los Angeles. In his five years in LA, he's served various forms of coffee to producers, directors and assistants alike.
Most of Quinn's film experience has been operating behind the lens, capturing moments in their purest forms. The three short films he's shot and produced have gone through the film festival circuit with a handful of awards and acclaim.
Quinn is a passionate filmmaker and his love of history has driven him to have an acute attention to detail. He holds the utmost respect for the true auteurs of our time and is forging a unique path of rich character driven content. Camila is the first short film he wrote, shot and directed and he will be the first to say, "it doesn't suck." Here's to making his mark in history.
