Their Daughters Productions is a Film+Theatre house encompassing the works of Aliyah Curry as well as showcasing her portfolio in involvement on other projects
Aliyah Curry is a queer Southern bred film and theatremaker focused on Black female sexuality and mental health. Creating for her is about vulnerability between self, company, and story, never asking of any what she would not do herself. After studying dramatic writing at the Savannah College of Art and Design, she was accepted into Horizon Theatre Company's New South Young Playwrights Contest and Festival, which contributed to her being a Third Annual Dramatist Guild of America Young Playwright Award semi-finalist. Since then, she received the 2020-2022 Rosalind Ayres-Williams Scholarship at Working Title Playwrights and served on the Monday Night Development Workshop committee. Her first commission came with Pillow Talk, an auditory experience developed by and premiered on Alliance Theatre Anywhere, Spotlight Studio in 2021. She was a 2023 member of the Exquisite Corpse Company's Spring Writer's Lab, culminating in a reading of a new one-act play at Culture Lab LIC. That play, Great Aunts, was also shown as a staged reading at The Tank’s 2024 PrideFest. Aliyah is the 2024 recipient of The New York Foundation of the Arts Ryan Hudak LGBTQ+ Playwright Award. When not writing or directing, she stage manages, dramaturgs, and collaborates with fellow theatermakers.
Her theatrical work translates to her other passion of expression in film. She has learned from various roles in the film industry, most notably as producer’s and director’s assistant. Her short films have received accolades at Savannah State Film Festival, Black Femme Supremacy Film Festival, Georgia Film Festival, Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project Film Festival and others. She executive produced Spooky Society, a proof of concept for a half-hour television series by Bryson Lima, in 2022, which was shown at Atlanta Horror, Spooky Empire Horror, and NYC Halloween film festivals in 2023, garnering a Next Generation Indie Film Awards nomination for best horror short. Experimenting more with her affinity for surrealism led to her short The True You and other works. Her feature script Giny was a 2022 finalist in Screencraft’s Film Fund and developed in Stowe Story Labs 2023 Narrative Sidewalk Lab. She is actively working on securing funding for Giny with her producing partner, Annarosa Mudd.
