Virginia Quinn
2021From the most sensitive of topics to the most technically difficult to shoot, her films reflect both the aesthetic visuals of story telling as much as the narrative resulting in beautifully crafted films and returning clients.
She has experience directing small intimate crews and large docu drama crews, from 3 to 80 plus, and is not fazed by working in the most far flung of locations, or with highly dangerous animals, or ambitious set ups and CGI.
Virginia has also had several of her own documentary ideas commissioned throughout her career. Among them, films produced through Kingdom Films, the production company she co – founded with renowned predator behaviourist Kevin Richardson.
A passion for the wild and its conservation led her to South Africa over a decade ago and a home on a game reserve close to the Kruger National Park in between filming projects. There she continues to spend her free time gaining practical experience and insight into conservation, bush skills and animal behaviour.

The Truth Behind the Moon Landings

Documentary debunking the conspiracy theories surrounding the first moon landing. Amid an era of global political suspicion the greatest conspiracy theory of all time casts doubt on what should be the greatest achievement of the age. Did the Apollo 11 astronauts really land on the moon, or was this an elaborate hoax by NASA to satisfy political demands? Bill Kaysing the former head of technical publications for Rocketdyne is considered, by many, to be the father of moon conspiracy theorists. Both he and Ralph René the author of NASA Mooned America set out their stall with all the evidence supporting their theory: Contradicting shadows in photographs, moon walk was a slow motion film, no stars in night sky, flag fluttering in a breeze, lack of Computing power to land the lunar module, can't manipulate camera to take photographs, dust below lunar module should have been disturbed, film would be damaged by radiation... etc.
