Speaking to Roeg Sutherland, head of CAA Media Finance & International Film Group, Quinn noted he’d “been doing this for 30 years, which feels like it’s gone by so quickly.
Radius proved a stepping stone “to truly becoming an entrepreneur, starting the label from the ground up,” Quinn said.
It was Sutherland who helped Quinn establish Neon in 2017 after finding his first investor, Jackie Chan’s Hong Kong-based SR Media.
Asked about the origin of the company’s name, Quinn said he came across the first neon sign that existed in the U.S., hung above a Packard auto dealership in Hollywood in 1923.
“He made a neon sign that said ‘Neon.”The company used an image of that sign for its first movie, “Colossal,” when it screened at Sundance in 2017.
