The film traveled to over 30 festivals and won international awards at 6, including The Orson Welles First Feature Film Award at Huntington, the Ecumenical Jury Award at Mannheim/Heidelberg, and Jury Prize for Bold, Original Expression at Florida.At age 27, Joey wrote, directed, shot, and edited his second feature, 'Quattro Noza'. "'Quattro Noza' resembles 'The Fast and the Furious' under the influence of Stan Brakhage. Joey Curtis' directorial debut takes a highly impressionistic look at the world of illegal street racing in Southern California." Todd McCarthy - Variety'Quattro Noza' premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2003 and won Best Cinematography.

"Imagine Vin Diesel and Paul Walker's street-racing saga The Fast and the Furious transformed into a lyrical, stylized romantic tragedy and one would have some idea of what Joey Curtis' unsparing yet beguiling 'Streets of Legend' is like." Kevin Thomas - LA TimesJoey went on to co-write the screenplay 'Blue Valentine', starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams.
