Stefan Quinth Producer
Nature photographer,
film producer and owner of Camera Q. Stefan has specialized in working
with animals, nature and diverse cultures since 1976. He has worked and
filmed in more than 40 different countries over the years. Recently he has
concentrated on Kodiak, Alaska; Egypt; and Sri Lanka. But he has also film
much in Sweden and many countries in Europe. Stefan Quinth has produced a
long list of films that have been aired on Swedish and International
Television.
Born in Sweden, Stefan began filming at an early age. He sold his first
film to television when he was seventeen. Tarzan – Son of Moose, was a
satiric drama of a forest hero. After a year long course in directing he
began working with Swedish Television’s Nils Dahlbeck, a well-known t..v.
personality who specialized in nature documentaries. In 1976, at the age
of 19, Stefan started his own production company.
During the 80’s Camera Q produced documentaries about countries in
Europe, Africa, North America and Asia. We have also produced
documentaries portraying interesting people and cultures such as The
Wooden Shoe Maker, Ahukuntakayos – The Snake People, Egypt’s Forgotten
People. In the 90’s our attention turned toward Asia and the plight of
Sri Lanka’s diminishing elephant population, and to Kodiak, Alaska, the
home of the giant Kodiak bear.
Today Camera Q has an office in Sweden and one in Kodiak, Alaska. We
continue to document the people around us who have a positive view on life
and the situations they encounter. We focus
on animals and environments that the average person will never
encounter, but that have a great deal to add to the diversity of life on
this planet. Recent productions include;
“The Colorado River”, 17 years in the making and dealing with
one of the world’s most exploited rivers; “My Grandfather was a Tribal
Chief”- about PK , born an “untouchable” in India, who fell in love
with a young Swedish girl and bicycled to Sweden to be with her.; and
“Deadly Passion – the Tragedy on Katmai” covering the tragic deaths
of Timothy Treadwell and Amy Heugenard as well as two coastal brown bears
in Katmai’s national park. Our mission is to produce films that
entertain as well as inform, and that leave the viewer with a feeling of
hope, rather than despair, for the future.
