We were lucky to catch up with Quinn Wolverton recently and have shared our conversation below.
Quinn, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Almost all entrepreneurs have had to decide whether to start now or later? There are always pros and cons for waiting and so we’d love to hear what you think about your decision in retrospect. If you could go back in time, would you have started your business sooner, later or at the exact time you started?
If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t change anything regarding starting my business sooner. I think everything happens when it’s supposed to and fortunately, Nova Cat Films became what it is because I naturally wanted to have it be that way. I technically started my business in 2015 but I’ve been making films with my friends my entire life so it has felt like I had a business my entire life. If I would’ve started Nova Cat Films earlier, I think my team would be different, my films wouldn’t be as interesting, and the passion for making films wouldn’t be the same. Like I said before, everything will happen when it’s supposed to.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
I am a film producer and filmmaker from Northern Virginia. I have my own independent film company called Nova Cat Films where I set forth inclusivity, diversity, and creativity with everyone that wants to be part of the filmmaking process. The reason I got into filmmaking was because of the movie JAWS. I remember watching this film when I was 6 years old and I knew I wanted to be a shark catcher but my parents advised that it would be better to become a filmmaker and that set me on my path. Further, I am most proud of the people that come on to the team. They are passionate, serious, and hard working. We are also proud of our film work. All of our films speak for themselves. Also, telling compelling stories from different writers that have different minds. I provide opportunities to up and coming storytellers that want to make films. Our ability to work with a different groups of people sets us apart and sets me apart. Nova Cat Films welcomes anyone who wants to be a part of a hard working and creative team telling compelling original stories.
How’d you meet your business partner?
I met Kyle Rayo in first grade. We became friends instantly. We found out that we have a passion for the same thing, storytelling. He has written many of the films we shoot.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
The mission that drives me on this creative journey is really making it onto the big screen and getting more funding so that we can provide more opportunities for our team.
