Briefly

"Driven by a profound platform of faith, they're trying to get out of the mud and find a way to walk into the light," Quinn explained, highlighting how the films he curated reflect his artistic journey.
"You have to be slightly crazy to believe in the things that, by all accounts, seem impossible," said Quinn, showcasing the tenacity required by the protagonists in his selected films.
Quinn reflected on A Raisin in the Sun, sharing, "When I was a teacher in Chicago, I stayed up all night painting a mural and watched it back-to-back like 15 times," demonstrating his deep connection to this film.
He described Sidney Poitier's portrayal of Walter Lee Younger as "a tour-de-force, dancing in a rhythmic fashion throughout the film," emphasizing the impact of the performance on his artistic vision.
