About

I’m Chris Quines, a San Francisco-based festival producer and video editor. I thrive at the intersection of live events and storytelling, coordinating everything from vendor outreach to stage management and post-production with a collaborative, artist-first approach.

Over the years I’ve led organizing efforts for Alaskan Records’ festival entries, produced/edit videos for Homegrown Videos, and supported a busy law-firm operations team, always focused on delivering clear results, on-time delivery, and building a welcoming community for performers and crews alike.
