Who is Kurt Voss?

Kurt Voss is an American film director, screenwriter and musician/songwriter. Voss has written and directed a dozen feature films, including Will Smith's debut "Where The Day Takes You", the Sundance sleeper "Horseplayer", actress Jaime Pressly's debut feature "Poison Ivy: The New Seduction" and numerous rock and roll related films including "Down and Out with the Dolls" and "Ghost on The Highway: A Portrait of Jeffrey Lee Pierce and The Gun Club."

Voss has frequently collaborated with fellow UCLA alumnus Allison Anders. Working together over twenty-five years, the duo created an acclaimed trilogy of rock films: Border Radio, a portrait of the L.A. punk scene featuring such stalwarts as John Doe and Dave Alvin and published by the prestigious Criterion Collection; the Sundance-premiered "Sugar Town", featuring John Taylor and Rosanna Arquette; and "Strutter", a Kickstarter-financed indie featuring fresh faces, with luminous black and white cinematography by Voss himself.

Anders and Voss also co-wrote "Things Behind The Sun", which was awarded a Peabody Award in 2002.
