Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Joseph Quinn Simpkins was born in Carson City, Nevada. Joseph had a love for film and Television at an early age bringing wardrobe and props to elementary school to act out his favorite shows. Later in High School he worked his first job to purchase a 35mm camera and became an avid photographer selling photo's to fellow students. Having an interest in planes and cars led him into building hot rods and racing. After attending Sequoia Automotive Institute in Fremont, California he enjoyed a career building professional race cars. Later he left the business to pursue his true love film and theater. Joseph joined a National Touring Company "The Robin Hood Players" where he studied with Bill Silverman, a former Broadway Director and Actor from the famous Actors Studio. After 2 years of touring, producing, acting and directing with the company his friend and mentor passed away. Joseph then decided to get some formal training and attended the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, for another two years. While attending school he moonlighted at his friend's race car shop to make ends meet. After finishing school he found his way into the Special Effects aspect of film making, a "shoe in" because of his experience obtained building race cars. It was here where he learned the mechanics of filmmaking.

Joseph formed a film production company in 2007, Living Water Films and wrote and produced one of the first Red One camera projects, a short film "Fatal Flaw". "Fatal Flaw" was the first Red One Project to use Adobe Premiere with a special software plugin supplied by Adobe at the time. LWF has produced several award winning short films and music videos, including one with famed front man John Schlitt from Petra and Head East. Joseph was finally able to direct and produce his dream project "Adrenaline" after 15 years of concept, which is a tribute to drag racers and victims of street racing related accidents. Joseph is completing another dream project, a documentary of the famed world war two P-51 Mustang "Miss America" which has been racing at the world renown Reno Air Races since 1969 to the present. The red, white and blue P-51 was so popular that Revell offered a 1/32 scale model of the airplane in 1972 and Cox offered a .049 gas powered flying line control model as well.
