MAGIC KUMQUAT PRODUCTIONS
We're often asked about the name of our documentary film production company. The "kumquat" in our name came from Kumquat Avenue, where we once lived in Coconut Grove, Florida, in a community with many filmmakers, artists, designers, and writers. We added the word "magic," because we believe that there's something magical that happens when creativity and innovation are coupled with hard work.
