James Kendall is a filmmaker, director, and video editor based in Loveland, CO.
Perfectionism is the name of his game. James grew up in Alaska and has been making short films since the age of 13. He cut his teeth making action movies with his friends and learning his craft from how-to internet videos and the cheapest film education program there is: watching lots of movies.
James founded Quick Dash Films in 2017 with his brother, John, and has since directed notable works such as The Red Fox (2018), Wellaway (2018), and Dasher (2019). Wellaway won the “Best Made Film in Alaska” Jury's Prize Award at the 2018 Anchorage International Film Festival. James was Assistant Director and Producer on their next two short films, Mythomanes (2020) and REW (2022).
After completing six years of service with the Alaska Army National Guard, James graduated from the University of Alaska Anchorage with a BA in Theatre and a minor in French in the Fall of 2019. Most recently, he worked as a Production Assistant on major film and TV productions for Netflix, Starz, and Disney+ in Atlanta, GA. Now based out of Loveland, CO (about an hour north of Denver), James is continuing his career in film as a freelance filmmaker, director, and video editor.
