Curry Barker is a writer, director, and actor whose work has quickly made him one of the most exciting new filmmakers to emerge in recent years. His most recent feature, OBSESSION, premiered at TIFF’s Midnight Madness, where it became one of the festival’s breakout films and was acquired by Focus Features. Before OBSESSION, Curry built an audience through his original shorts online, which collectively garnered millions of views. He went on to make MILK & SERIAL, which he released on YouTube, an $800 found-footage film he wrote, directed, and starred in that became a cult hit and drew widespread attention. Curry also co-created the sketch comedy brand That’s a Bad Idea with Cooper Tomlinson, which has amassed millions of followers. As an actor, he has appeared in DAVE, IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, and B-SIDE FOR TAYLOR. Up next, Curry will write, direct, and star in ANYTHING BUT GHOSTS, produced by Jason Blum, Roy Lee, and Steven Schneider.
