A current independent filmmaker and former illustrator, Derek Quint began creating at an early age and hasn't stopped since. He is busy working on a number of different endeavors (more than he probably should be) and is based in Chicago.
Addovolt Productions is an independent film production company led by writer-director Derek Quint. We do everything from short films and music videos to documentaries and features. Quint's work has been described as "art house", "captivating", "mesmerizing", "spirited", and "wonderfully entertaining". His projects have been featured on Film Threat, The Critic's Word, The Gothic Imagination, Dark Matter Zine, Horror Cult Films (UK), Big Gay Horror Fan, Punk Globe, Metal Underground, Creepy Pasta, Legends of America, Art Reveal Magazine, Buzz Magazine, Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Radio One, the News-Herald, After Ellen, and the CreateSpace blog (an Amazon Group company) among other publications.
Our time at Addovolt is spent, mainly, on bringing our own films and documentaries to fruition although we occasionally collaborate with other production companies and fulfill commissioned works on a case-by-case basis. Freedom of approach and content continually drives us. We enjoy exploring the avant-garde, tackling unusual subject matter, and taking experimental approaches to filmmaking.
Although we love all kinds of films and filmmakers, we really love the work of John Waters, Werner Herzog, Frederico Fellini, F.W. Murnau, Aleksandr Ptushko, Sophie Muller, Lee Daniels, Kenneth Anger, Ryan Murphy, Floria Sigismondi, Gregg Araki, Guy Maddin, David Lynch, Ken Russell, Baz Luhrmann, Tim Burton, George Romero, Tobe Hooper, Sophia Coppola, Maya Deren, Mel Brooks, Walt Disney, and Quentin Tarantino.
