Why make a
documentary ?
Quentin A. Wood Director
Sometimes an idea come to you from nowhere or somewhere unseen. The idea impresses itself in your psyche and won't let go. Such visions and dreams should not be ignored, for they are your destiny or perhaps better described as "Dharma". In my daily life, ideas come to me to showcase some of the local characters and their interesting stories. It becames a passion and so I get started,....

My Bio
I moved to Fairfield, Iowa in 1975, to be a Transcendental Meditation student at Maharishi International University. I wanted to enter by the side door, so I first went on staff and then used my "credit" from work to take TM teacher training and advanced meditation retreats. Living in Fairfield evolved in to many entrepreneurial experiences including a vending business, transport company, publishing, mini-storage, retail store, real estate, and video education and film production (Zebra Productions).
I lived in Fairfield for 14 years and then decided it was time to see the world. After leaving Fairfield, I made it to Hollywood and worked as a screenwriter. Next, I spent 20 years traveling around the world working for The Himalayan Traders and made dozens of travel documentaries on Sacred Sites in India as well as some art & travel films. I had to take a break from video production just as I was getting good, as the high cost of equipment was impractical for a "hobby". Now that's all changed! I can produce broadcast quality video at one tenth the cost. Yeah! I am retooling and assembling a team of video production professionals to follow our passion and share stories of the people who inspire us.
