History
editFormally established as Mr Q Media in 2013, Suited Caribou Media was launched on 30 June 2015 by Scottish film editor Chris Quick as an umbrella company to represent his freelance work outside of Quick Off The Mark Productions.[1] Its first project was post-production work on the short film Sectarian Secret Police by Joseph Andrew Mclean. Over the next couple of years, the company provided post-production services for many and varied films and branched out into photography by providing behind the scenes stills during the production of Broken Record.[2]
In October 2015, it was announced that Chris Quick would not continue with Quick Off The Mark Productions following the decision of Mark D. Ferguson to move to Canada. With the company earmarked for closure in February 2016, Quick turned to Mr Q Media full-time and rebranded it Suited Caribou Media. In February 2016, it was given the joint task of taking over as production company for Autumn Never Dies alongside Pentagram Productions UK.[3] On 3 April 2016, the company made its first announcement about the project when it published the cast line up for the film.[4]
The company is possibly best known for its post-production work on Electric Faces which received a Best Writer nomination at the 2016 British Academy Scotland New Talent Awards for director Johnny Herbin.[5] Writing for MovieScramble, John McArthur said:
"The film has a score for the entire eleven minute run time. The electronic soundscape work in tandem with the editing from Chris Quick to heighten the tension at the required moments without it being too obvious."[6]
The spoilist website also added:
"Every frame has clearly been meticulously plan with the editing perfectly creating a heartbeat to the story as it builds to its conclusion.[7]
In March 2016, photography work by Suited Caribou Media was printed in Digital Filmmaker Magazine in the United Kingdom. The six-page article about the short film Fanatic featured various photographs taken during production of cast and crew.[8] On 18 June 2016, The National newspaper in Scotland also printed pictures from the companies collection in an article[9] about the shows appearance at the 2016 television festival SeriesFest in Denver, USA.[10]
