Quixotic Endeavors is a New York-based production company dedicated to documentary storytelling that explores the lives, institutions, and cultural figures that shape our collective memory. Founded by filmmaker Matthew Miele, the company was established to produce his breakthrough documentary Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s and has since become home to a diverse body of films examining legacy, creativity, truth, identity, and the enduring impact of remarkable people and places.

At the heart of Quixotic Endeavors is a fascination with what remains after the moment has passed. Whether chronicling iconic artists, filmmakers, performers, writers, innovators, or storied institutions, the company’s films seek to uncover the deeper human stories beneath public perception. Rather than traditional biographies, these documentaries explore the point at which a life becomes a story and a story becomes a legacy.
