What happens

Kurt Voss (born Kurt Christopher Peter Wössner) (born September 16, 1963) is an American film director, screenwriter, and musician-songwriter. Voss's credits include Will Smith's debut Where The Day Takes You; the Justin Theroux, Alyssa Milano and Ice-T action film Below Utopia; actress Jaime Pressly's debut feature Poison Ivy: The New Seduction, and rock and roll related films including Down and Out with the Dolls and Ghost on The Highway: A Portrait of Jeffrey Lee Pierce and The Gun Club. Voss has frequently collaborated with fellow UCLA alumnus Allison Anders. Working together over twenty-five years, the duo created a trilogy of rock films: Border Radio (1987), a portrait of the L.A. punk scene featuring John Doe (X) and Dave Alvin (The Blasters) and published by The Criterion Collection; the Sundance-premiered Sugar Town (1999), featuring John Taylor (Duran Duran) and Rosanna Arquette; and Strutter (2012), a Kickstarter-financed independent film.
