Founded by Film and Broadway producer Edward Walson, CURIA is a new streaming service that helps movie lovers stop searching and start watching great movies. It provides viewers with new, specially curated collections of feature and short films each month that are organized for making faster, more informed viewing decisions.

CURIA puts the viewer's mood and enjoyment at the center of the curation process, making for a fun, intuitive solution to the age-old question, “what should I watch?”
