Consulting Producer
A ten-year portrait of a North Philadelphia family and the creative sanctuary offered by their home music studio.
Feature Documentary - Sundance World Premiere - PBS POV Broadcast
Filmed with vérité intimacy for over a decade, QUEST is the moving portrait of a family in North Philadelphia. Christopher “Quest” Rainey, along with his wife Christine’a, aka “Ma Quest,” open the door to their home music studio, which serves as a creative sanctuary from the strife that grips their neighborhood. Over the years, the children grow up before our eyes, and everyday life brings a mix of joy and unexpected crisis. Set against the backdrop of a country in turmoil, QUEST is both a stunning illumination of race and class, and a tender depiction of an American family whose journey is a profound testament to love, healing and hope.
