King Corn is a documentary about two friends, one acre of corn and the subsidized crop that drives our fast food nation. Curt's work with King Corn has been featured in publications including The New York Times, The Washington Post and Congressional Quarterly, and on NPR, CBS, ABC and CNN. Curt also made The Greening of Southie, telling the story of Boston's first LEED-certified residential green building and the people who made it possible.
