A keen enthusiast in Drama at School, Chris Quick originally planned to study Economics at University but changed his mind whilst backpacking round Europe in 2006. Upon his return, he retrained as a video editor and together with his class mate Mark D. Ferguson formed the production company Quick Off The Mark Productions in October 2009.The pair provided video production services across Glasgow and even provided coverage of the Katana Fighting Series held in various hotels across the city between 2010 and 2013. In the summer of 2010, Quick and Ferguson teamed up with their former class mate Andy S. McEwan. to write their first feature film called In Search of La Che (2011). The film premiered at the Glasgow Film Theatre and went on to feature at the American Online Film Awards.In response to the difficulty finding cast and crew during the production, Quick founded the online film database, the Glasgow Filmmakers Alliance with actor Andrew O'Donnell. as a way of bringing together film professionals working in the city. In 2012 he also became a member of BAFTA Scotland and also led and won the campaign to get the organisations New Talent Awards recognised by IMDB. Later that year, he reunited with Andy S. McEwan to write the short puppet comedy The Greyness of Autumn (2012) which also marked his directorial debut. Quick would later voice the character of Nelson for the film when an actor failed to show up for the ADR session. The film enjoyed a variety of success over three years on the international film festival circuit playing in multiple events in America, Britain and Ireland before ending in 2015 at the People of Passion Film Festival in Australia where it won the Best Short Comedy accolade. In 2014, he returned to the directors chair briefly to direct the short children's film Minion vs. Minion (2014) which was produced with Steve Johnson as part of a collaboration project between Quick Off The Mark Productions, Futuristfilm and Vue Cinemas.In 2015, it was announced that Quick Off The Mark Productions would close in the following year upon Ferguson's decision to move to Canada. Quick turned to freelancing full time and rebranded as Suited Caribou Media providing post production and behind the scenes photography services across Glasgow. His first major short film under his new banner was the sci-fi film Electric Faces (2015) which he edited and produced for Johnny Herbin. The film went on to land Herbin a Best Writer nomination at the 2016 Bafta Scotland New Talent Awards. With the exclusion of his own films, Quick claims it is the best production he has ever worked on.With a planned sequel to The Greyness of Autumn (2012) in production prior to Quick Off The Mark Productions disbanding, it was announced in 2016 that Suited Caribou Media and Pentagram Productions UK would take over filming responsibilities of Autumn Never Dies (2020). Filming began later that year with Quick returning as director of the film and also respired his role as Nelson. In late 2017, Quick reunited with Herbin to work on the short war film Mountain (2018). The film was warmly received by critics and earned Quick his first award win in the field of editing at the 2018 Dublin Independent Film Festival. He would later receive a further 3 nominations at other festivals from around the world.He is expected to premiere Autumn Never Dies (2020) in 2019.
