Nathaniel Quinn: Filmmaker
Best known for his poetic World War I feature film, Reconnaissance, starring the late Brian Kingsley and released to critical acclaim a decade ago, Mr. Quinn largely retired from the entertainment business. He now works mainly in the intimate theater and performance art space of Los Angeles. A huge advocate for the LGBTQ community, Nathaniel and husband Peter Hearndon, C.E.O. of OutProudTV, were one of the first gay couples legally married in the state of California.

So even if you’re convinced and everybody else alive is convinced that a painting you did in 1983 was your best work, future generations may decide that actually it was something you created near the end of your life.
