Overview
- Producers confirmed that Portrait of an Artist: Stephen Curry will debut only on IMAX screens starting Oct. 9 in an exclusive theatrical run.
- The film centers on Curry reaching a 4,000 three-point milestone and explores the technique, discipline and mindset behind his shooting.
- Production deployed 21 proprietary IMAX cameras at the Chase Center to capture pregame and in-game moments around a single game where Curry needed two threes to reach the mark.
- The documentary weaves in reflections from artists such as Viola Davis, Rick Rubin, Patti Smith, and Jon Batiste and is produced by Unanimous Media with Religion of Sports, ESPN Films and NBA Entertainment.
- Disney will distribute the film, a move that underscores a growing trend of athlete-driven, cinema-first sports projects and could extend Curry’s profile beyond basketball while delaying an immediate streaming window.
