When 'Izzy Lagoon' refused to live up to that small dog stereotype and jump onto Uncle Sam's lap, it got a bit tense on set. But her handler and best friend - Jamie - had a different take on it: wasn't it wonderfully defiant of Izzy to have a mind of her own and not just roll over to Uncle Sam's demands? Talk about a clear sense of identity and an unwavering strength to chart her own course. Izzy for Prime Minister!
Quinn is an award-winning filmmaker best known for her documentary short, ‘Standing Still’, a touching piece about her relationship with four elderly women from Vancouver Island.
She came to documentary filmmaking by way of performance and video art which led to site-specific film projections shown within the context of architecture.
Regardless of the medium, her work has always been grounded in the political but her keen wit and satiric sensibility elevate it to a new and refreshing plane.
