AE QUINN is a writer, producer, and director. He made his directorial debut with “Misfortune.” Quinn has worked creatively in the political arena for several years through his love of film and its potential to cause positive changes in the world. He fell in love with the movies as a child. Movies like E.T. the Extraterrestrial, Jurassic Park, and Back to the Future were his favorites growing up. As a filmmaker, he is proficient at creating narrative films and documentaries. Quinn graduated from Full Sail University with a bachelor’s degree of science in film in 2023.
The role of the director is that of a central collaborator. My job is to keep the different departments informed and on a single path to telling our story. The director wears many hats during production and can sometimes act as an editor, producer, cinematographer, and other departments. One of the lessons I’ve learned is that being a director requires what may seem like overcommunication to ensure everyone is on the same page. Also, keeping the story focused during the creative process is essential.

Without a clear understanding of the story, the production crew can veer off-track, and the story can end up being disconnected or confusing to the audience. There are also several logistical feats that the director should be aware of. If absent, production decisions can lead to failure.

We hope that preparing for the worst will allow us to complete our films and tell the best story. To quote President Reagan, “The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave.”
