Quinton Macari

Quinton Macari, co-founder of Studio Nine 13, is a media veteran with more than twenty years of experience in the industry. Better known by his Bond-like nickname, Q has been an editor for everything from episodic television, network tv, and feature films, to corporate marketing videos.

Back in his freshman year of high school, Q joined a senior mass communications class and fell in love with making music videos. Fast-forward a couple of decades, and Q has helped produce three feature films — The Summoning, The Sacred, and his newest accomplishment A Time for Every Purpose. He was also First Assistant Director on The Pistol, an official selection at the Cannes Film Festival in 2019. He’s worked with The Daily Buzz, a nationally syndicated morning news and entertainment show and as a director for the first season of the Entrepreneur magazine TV show.

Q has also established himself as the video and social media content creator behind some of the biggest brands you know and love. So far, he’s produced for brands like Coca-Cola, U.S. Bank, Yelp, Chick-Fil-A, Palo Alto Networks, Nurse Blake (and the increasingly popular nursing conference, NurseCon at Sea), and more. And his portfolio just keeps growing. Through these experiences (overseeing a complete film production, running multi-thousand dollar live productions, etc.), Q has developed project management skills that make him the perfect person to lead, produce, and edit any video project. He takes great pride in the compelling, story-driven video content that he and Kristin pour their hearts into creating for their clients.

Recently, Quinton led Studio Nine 13’s creative direction for a national U.S. Bank campaign, traveling coast-to-coast to capture the stories of 15 small business owners for billboards, news features, and multimedia ads that highlight the heart of American entrepreneurship.
