At age 22, Joey Curtis completed his first feature film 'Brother Tied,' as writer/producer/editor. The film made its American premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in 1998, where it was lauded as "one of the most striking American independent debuts in some time," by The Guardian's Jonathan Romney, and hailed a work of "visual genius," by New York Newsday's John Anderson. The film traveled to over 30 festivals and won international awards at 6.
At age 27, Joey completed his second feature, 'Quattro Noza,' which he wrote, directed, co-photographed, and edited. "'Quattro Noza' resembles 'The Fast and the Furious' under the influence of Stan Brakhage. Joey Curtis' directorial debut takes a highly impressionistic look at the world of illegal street racing in Southern California." Todd McCarthy - Variety
'Quattro Noza' premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2003 where it won Best Cinematography and was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize. The film was also nominated for 2 Independent Spirit Awards in 2004, Best First Feature and Best Cinematography. It premiered internationally at Berlinale. Lionsgate distributed in 2005 as 'Streets of Legend,' premiering at Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, "Imagine Vin Diesel and Paul Walker's street-racing saga The Fast and the Furious transformed into a lyrical, stylized romantic tragedy and one would have some idea of what Joey Curtis' unsparing yet beguiling 'Streets of Legend' is like." Kevin Thomas - LA Times
Joey went on to write the screenplay 'Blue Valentine', starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. 'Blue Valentine' premiered at Sundance in 2010 to great acclaim then premiered internationally at the Cannes Film Festival and Toronto Film Festival. It received 2 Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor and Actress. Michelle Williams received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.
