LA-based director Ben Quinn joins Robber’s Dog

Director Ben Quinn has signed with Robber’s Dog For representation across Australasia.

Says George Mackenzie, managing director, Robber’s Dog: “Ben is a clever director and a top bloke, he’s a fabulous addition to our roster. We are chuffed he has chosen us to look after his interests in Australasia.”

The LA based Australian expat director learned his trade, working for the BBC’s documentary department in London.

Quinn’s reel is an impressive collection of beautiful films with natural and extremely evocative performances at their heart.

He has directed campaigns for Nike, Met Police, BUPA, Fosters, Reebok, Mazda, Coke, Chevrolet, Dove, FIFA, NAB and many other brands across the world.

Quinn’s talents were recently acknowledged by his peers, in the form of an AICP nomination, for Chevrolet ‘Table’. The film, made in collaboration with Spike Lee, commemorates the opening of the Martin Luther King Memorial in Washington DC.

Throughout 2010/11 Quinn worked with Ralph Fiennes on the actor and director’s adaptation of ‘Coriolanus‘. Quinn assisted Fiennes in his development and realisation of the film and went on to direct the second unit.

His short film ‘I Missed my Mother’s Funeral‘ starring Brian Cox and shot by the great cinematographer Barry Ackroyd, played to great acclaim in festivals across the world and was shortlisted for a BAFTA.
