Director Biography –\u00a0Quincy G. Ledbetter<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My name is Quincy Ledbetter, an award-winning filmmaker, photographer, and musician who focuses primarily in narrative, documentary, and experimental film. As a jack of all trades I write, direct, DP, edit, and compose music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn\u2019t afford film school, so I bought a camera and taught myself how to make films by making as much as I could while learning the tricks of the trade through books, Google, and Youtube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took the leap into digital media as a Video Producer & Editor at Mashable, where I conceived, produced, shot, and edited original content. From there I did a short freelance stint at NPR developing new shows and then moved on to work as a Video Director & Editor at Mic . After that, I landed at HuffPost as a Video Director and Senior Video Editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most recently, I won the Project CRE8 competition by BET and Paramount Players to direct my forthcoming feature film, Alieu the Dreamer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
