"I was lucky enough to have played the role of Emily Walters. Emily is a very special human she is very hard working, very determined, very compassionate. There's a lot depth to who she is in her core, a lot of layers. It took me awhile to really figure her out; she isn't just your typical small town farm girl ya know? Her character really goes through a lot of different changes throughout the movie. I think there will be many things while watching, that people will see and relate to. I connected with Emily on so many levels, it was really important to me to put myself into her shoes, truly empathize and feel her emotions. I was very thankful that I actually had been through some very similar experiences as Emily that made it much easier for me to emerge myself in her world. To me, Emily was not just a character, she is a real person. Someone going through many life changes and experiencing real feelings. She challenged me and pulled things out of me that helped me see the truth of who she was deep inside. I can only hope that others get the opportunity to watch this film and feel those feelings even a fraction of the amount I myself did." When Quinn read the script she immediately was so drawn to her character. When she first read the script it was shorter and been revised. She was pleasantly surprised she was playing a lead in this feature film as Emily Walters. That being said she felt so close to Emily, Quinn felt like she was calling to her right off the pages. By the time she finished reading, she was so attached to Emily and her story within the script. Emily has so many experiences that not only Quinn, but so many others have gone through. Reading it, then portraying Emily, and further watching it really puts it into perspective for Quinn. She feels so lucky to have got to connect with her on so many levels. Quinn's biggest hope is simply that people can connect and relate to February's Dog. The film touches on a lot of very sensitive topics including but not limited to men's mental health. If the film connects with even one person to help them with their struggles, I will be happy. There are so many people struggling in our society right now. So many people feeling alone and feeling no one understands what they're going through. She hopes when people watch the film they see that they aren't the only ones and aren't alone in this crazy world. February's Dog is not simply a movie, it is a movement. Quinn is also a photographer in Calgary.
