Quinn Popcorn

Quinn Popcorn Kickstarter Video from Justin C Lewis on Vimeo.

Quinn Pop­corn is microwave pop­corn reinvented! You will actu­ally have a hand in cre­at­ing your batch of pop­corn with­out slav­ing over a hot stove or grab­bing ingre­di­ents from your neighbor’s garden.

Our pop­corn ker­nels are organic and non-gmo. The other ingre­di­ents will be organic when we can, and when we can’t, rest assured, we will know exactly where they are com­ing from.

Dear 16-year-old Me 

This film was made possible thanks to the generosity of real Canadians and Americans whose lives have been touched by melanoma. These are not actors. We cannot thank this group enough for sharing their stories with us.

Pass it on...
