About me
Curt Hahn was born and raised in New England. He discovered architecture as a student at Phillips Exeter Academy and enrolled in architecture school at Washington University. Filmmaking was his other passion and after attending UCLA’s summer session in film production, he was awarded a full scholarship to film school at the Disney-endowed California Institute of the Arts. After getting his BFA in Film from CalArts, Curt moved to Nashville and founded Film House.
Film House has grown to become the largest film production company in Tennessee, based in its 40,000 square foot studio, editing, and office facility. As CEO, Curt leads a team that produces hundreds of films and TV spots annually. He’s directed such performers as Eric Roberts, Candice Bergen, Teri Garr, Janine Turner, Garth Brooks, Kate Jackson, Amy Grant, Isaac Hayes, Reba McEntire, Shaquille O’Neill, and Shania Twain. Curt’s a long-time member of the select International Quorum of Motion Picture Producers (IQ) and served as IQ President for two terms. IQ is an invitation-only organization of some of the world’s top filmmakers. Curt has also been honored to be selected to the 2011 class of Leadership Nashville and has served on the Downtown Presbyterian Church Corporation for many years.
Transcendent, a subsidiary of Film House, produces independent feature films. Current projects are “Jubilee”, based on the remarkable true story of Ella Sheppard and the original Fisk Jubilee Singers who introduced the Negro Spirituals to the world, and “Deadline”, which was recently released in theaters nationwide. “Deadline” stars Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts and Steve Talley as reporters investigating the murder of an African American youth in rural Alabama that has gone uninvestigated, unsolved and unpunished for almost twenty years.
Curt wrote and directed Transcendent’s first feature film, “No Regrets” starring Janine Turner and Kate Jackson. “No Regrets” has been a worldwide success, with repeated airings on HBO in Europe, Lifetime Television domestically, Hallmark in the U.K., and in dozens of other countries around the world. Next Transcendent co-produced “Two Weeks” starring two time Academy Award-winner Sally Field. “Two Weeks” was released theatrically by MGM across the country. Transcendent produces inspiring, uplifting films; meaningful stories that speak to the heart.
