Vickie Curtis
Comparsa
Vickie Curtis (Director, Producer) Comparsa is Vickie’s directorial debut after ten years of writing nonfiction films. Vickie has represented the Comparsa team at DOC NYC’s Industry Roundtables and also in Rio, when the project was selected for Doc Society’s 2024 Democracy Story Lab. She received the 2021 Primetime Emmy Award for outstanding nonfiction film writing on the Netflix Original, The Social Dilemma, which premiered at Sundance Film Festival. Vickie is drawn to stories that reveal the inhumane systems behind our existential crises, as well as stories about activated artists working to transform and transcend those systems. Her work as a writer and story architect also includes the Emmy-winning Netflix film Chasing Coral (Sundance), The Appian Way/Highly Flammable film We Are Guardians (HotDocs), Searching For Amani (Tribeca), Island Soldier (HotDocs, PBS), Greener Pastures (Mountainflim, POV), and Frame By Frame (SXSW, Cinema Eye Nominee).
