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 to become the largest film 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.

Transcendent, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Film House, produces independent features. Our current project is "Jubilee", based on the remarkable true story of Ella Sheppard and the original Fisk Jubilee Singers, who introduced the Negro Spirituals to the world in 1871. Transcendent's first film, "No Regrets" starring Janine Turner and Kate Jackson, has been a worldwide success, with repeated airings on HBO in Europe, Lifetime Television domestically, Hallmark in the U.K. and in dozens of other countries around the world. Next Transcendent co-produced "Two Weeks" starring two time Academy Award winner Sally Field, Ben Chaplin and Tom Cavanagh, with L.A.-based writer-director Steve Stockman. "Two Weeks" was released theatrically by MGM in major markets across the country in 2007. Transcendent produces the kind of inspiring, uplifting films that are often overlooked by Hollywood; meaningful stories that speak to the viewer's heart. Transcendent both develops its own properties and partners with other producers by providing crew, equipment and facilities.
