""The Baddest Speechwriter of All," a short film Curry directed with Canadian filmmaker Ben Proudfoot, took home the Short Film Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival on Tuesday night."
""Stephen and I are jumping for joy [him a lot higher than I] with this extraordinary recognition," Proudfoot said, according to Deadline."
""On a personal note, to share creative duties with Stephen, one of the greatest living athletes and just [a] truly good man, has given me an opportunity to grow as a filmmaker and be part of telling a story I probably never would have learned until Stephen called me," Proudfoot said."
Stephen Curry co-directed The Baddest Speechwriter of All with Canadian filmmaker Ben Proudfoot, and the short won the Short Film Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. Produced by Breakwater Studios, Curry and Unanimous Media, the film profiles Clarence B. Jones, an attorney and adviser who served as a key speechwriter for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and explores Jones' personal reflections on creating history and the Civil Rights Movement. Ben Proudfoot previously collaborated with Curry on The Queen of Basketball, a 2022 Oscar-winning short that Curry and Shaquille O'Neal executive produced. Curry was not in attendance at Sundance, and plans were made to celebrate the award after a Warriors game.
