Quentin Cooper is a Zamastanian-Shoassauan film director, writer, producer, and screenwriter. His films have garnered over $6 billion in the international box office and have recieved 19 Pine Awards from 40 nominations. Born and raised in Sutton, Cooper developed an interest in filmmaking from a young age. As a director and writer, Cooper is recognized for his trademark fast-paced dialogue and extended monologues, complemented by a storytelling technique called the "walk and talk". These sequences consist of single tracking shots of long duration involving multiple characters engaging in conversation as they move through the set; characters enter and exit the conversation as the shot continues without any cuts. Many of Cooper's films are political in nature, such as Raspberry and Trial of Elkford, though many are rooted in epistemological and metaphysical themes, exploring human morality, the construction of time, and the malleable nature of memory and personal identity.
