Curtis Vowell

The Kiwi storyteller of the modern family, Curtis Vowell was born in 1981 in Auckland, New Zealand, launching his directing career in the mid-2000s. Specialising in dramedy and family-centric films, Vowell’s most notable works include "Fantail" and "Baby Done," both of which have received critical acclaim but have yet to garner major festival awards. Despite this, Vowell's authorial style is marked by his ability to bring authenticity and poignancy to every-day situations, often exploring the complexities of familial relationships with a touch of humor. Curtis Vowell, with his modest yet impactful filmography, shows us that stories do not need to be grandiose to make a profound impact; they just need to be human.
