Life and career

Curry grew up in Summit, New Jersey, graduating from Summit High School in 1988.[2] He attended Swarthmore College, graduating in 1992[3] with a major in comparative religion.[4] He was also a Jane Addams Fellow at Indiana University's Center on Philanthropy.[5] Before becoming a filmmaker, Curry worked as senior producer at Icon Nicholson, a New York multimedia design firm.[6]

Curry's first film, Street Fight, was released in 2005 and was nominated for an Academy Award in 2006.[7] The film received a 100% fresh rating from Rotten Tomatoes.[8] It was called "extraordinary" by David Denby (The New Yorker),[9] and was described as "vastly entertaining" by John Anderson of Variety,[10] and "filmmaking of the first order" by Scott Foundas of LA Weekly.[11] That year he was named one of "25 New Faces in Independent Film" by Filmmaker Magazine[12] and received the Donnet Award for Emerging Filmmaker by the International Documentary Association.[13]

In 2009, his second film, Racing Dreams, won Best Documentary at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival, where it was also runner up for the Audience Award.[14] It received a 100% fresh rating from Rotten Tomatoes.[15] The film was called "The best film of the year" by The Los Angeles Times and "one of the rare documentaries you leave wishing it was a little longer" by The New York Times.[16]

In 2011, If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front won the award for Best Documentary Editing at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, was theatrically released by Oscilloscope Laboratories and earned Curry his second Academy Award nomination. Kenneth Turan of The Los Angeles Times called it "one of the best documentaries of the year"[17] and The New York Times described it as "an extraordinary documentary... [a] fearless exploration of complexity in a world drawn to oversimplified depictions of events and problems, heroes and villains."[18]

In 2014, Curry's film Point and Shoot won Best Documentary at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival[19] and was released theatrically by The Orchard.[20] The film was given an "A" grade by John Anderson of Indiewire, who said it was "a virtual swashbuckler".[21] It was called "brilliantly constructed and provocative" by Peter Keough of The Boston Globe,[22] "riveting... an extraordinary and quietly disturbing film" by David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter,[23] and Jay Weissberg of Variety said the "editing is a standout."[24]

In 2017, Curry released the Academy Award nominated[25] short film A Night at the Garden, a documentary about a 1939 German American Bund rally at Madison Square Garden, which attracted 20,000 Nazi supporters.[26] Curry said of the film, "It tells a story about our country that we'd prefer to forget."[26]

Curry's first narrative, the short film, The Neighbors' Window, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2019.[27] It won the Best Live Action Short Film at the 92nd Academy Awards.[28]

Curry lives in Brooklyn, New York.[29]
