Kimberly Quinn
Kimberly Quinn is an Actress, Writer, Producer, Director and Co-Founder of Goldenlight Films with husband, Writer-Director, Theodore Melfi.
Quinn is as much of a force behind the camera as she is in front of it. When not hired to star in outside projects, Quinn is busy developing and producing her own under her Goldenlight Films' banner. She can soon be seen starring opposite Vincent D'Onofrio, Tim Allen, Dax Shepard and Jessica Alba in Goldenlight Films' next feature film, "El Camino Christmas," premiering on Netflix, December 8, 2017. Quinn shines as Jewels Daniels, a single mom and young grandmother who doesn't have much but is in no way down and out. The dramedy follows a young man in El Camino, Nevada who seeks out the father he's never met and through no fault of his own, ends up barricaded in a liquor store holdup on Christmas Eve.
Quinn's most recent notable project is the 2017 three-time Oscar Nominated film, "Hidden Figures". Quinn co-produced and starred opposite Kevin Costner, Taraji P. Henson, and Jim Parsons. She helped develop this untold true story along side her husband, Theodore Melfi, for Fox and aside from winning the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, the international smash hit feature film went on to rake in an additional 39 award wins and 78 nominations.
In 2014, Quinn co-produced and starred opposite Bill Murray, in the two-time Golden Globe Nominated film, "St. Vincent," an indie darling that quickly became an awards season contender. Based on Quinn's own father, Murray plays Vincent, an old curmudgeon who becomes a mentor to a young boy who sees the good in Vincent that no one else can.
Quinn also recently starred opposite Academy Award nominee Naomi Watts in the psychological thriller, "Gypsy," a Netflix original series. She also stars in the cult hit show, "Terriers," an FX show which is one of the top 25 comedy series now streamed on Netflix.
Quinn's Goldenlight Films recently inked a television deal with Alcon Entertainment. She looks forward to creating television projects while developing and producing her upcoming slated feature films, "Fruit Loops" for Fox and Goldenlight Films Original feature, "Maggie."
