Curt Hahn was born and raised in New England. He discovered architecture 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 transferred to film school at the new Disney-endowed California Institute of the Arts. After getting his BFA in Film from Cal Arts he worked as director of the film department for a PBS station and as a director for a national film production company. In 1976 he moved to Nashville and founded Film House.

Film House has grown over the years to become the largest film and digital video production company in Tennessee and one of the largest producers of TV commercials in the US, moving into its 40,000 square foot studio, editing and office facility in 1996. As CEO, Curt leads a team of over 50 that produces hundreds of TV commercials and long form projects annually. He's directed thousands of commercials and longer films, featuring such performers as Candice Bergen, Teri Garr, Janine Turner, Garth Brooks, Amy Grant, Isaac Hayes, Reba McEntire, Shaquille O'Neill and Shania Twain. Film House has been a member of the select International Quorum of Motion Picture Producers (IQ) since 1977 and Curt has been on the Board of Governors since 1990, including serving as IQ President from 1999-2002. During his term as President Curt helped guide IQ to the most financially secure position in its thirty-seven year history, including the establishment of the IQ Endowment Fund. IQ is an invitation-only organization of some of the world's top film producers.

In 2003 Curt founded Transcendent to produce high quality independent features. Drawing on the resources of Film House and utilizing the latest technology, Transcendent's goal is to produce the kind of inspiring, uplifting films that are often seen as too small for Hollywood, meaningful stories that speak to the viewer's heart. "No Regrets" was Transcendent's first film; its current project is "Two Weeks", starring two-time Academy Award winner Sally Field. Next on the agenda are three more features, complete with prints and advertising funding for a guaranteed theatrical release.
