Thanks for sharing your story with us Anthony. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I graduated from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical University in communication and interned at Black Entertainment Television and then worked at la Face Records in Atlanta. Worked under Bille Woodruff Video commissioner for la Face such artists, Outkast, Goodie Mob, Toni Braxton, Usher, and TLC. Afterwards attended New York University. After graduating from NYU worked at Black Entertainment Television for 20yrs and while there started my producing and directing music videos and then producing and directing documentaries such classic King of the Streets.
Moved back to Atlanta to direct classics movie Jackboyz 1 and Jackboyz2 That features late Shawty lo, Waka Flocka , GHERBO and more Atlanta artists. And now in postproduction for a comedy called WEEDMAN. We are in negotiations as we speak in streaming all of our movies directed under our brand An Anthony Quinn.

Most of the struggles come from being rejected from the distribution of my movies whereas I had to distribute them myself state to state either on the bus or rental car. However, this has given me the opportunity to greet and meet my fans personally…
