Big Film Shorts distributes the 7-minute movie domestically and internationally.

A Filmingk production, Curiosity premiered in September 2005 at the Palm Springs Shortfest, the largest short film festival and market in North America. The Market included over 2,400 short films, and Curiosity was one of 324 selected to screen to the public at the festival.

"Curiosity, starring Broadway's Cheyenne Jackson, had the audience of over 200 festival goers on the edge of their seats. As a result the Hitchcockian thriller was offered a distribution deal to bring Curiosity to theaters and television stations around the world," according to press notes.

Cheyenne Jackson made his Broadway debut understudying both male leads in the Tony Award-winning musical Thoroughly Modern Millie. He later served as the standby for the character of Radames in Aida, then originated the role of Matthew in the off-Broadway production of Altar Boyz. He originated his first Broadway leading role in the musical tribute to Elvis Presley, All Shook Up. His performance as Chad earned him much critical praise, the Theatre World Award, as well as nominations from the Drama League and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor. In 2006, Jackson portrayed Mark Bingham in Universal Pictures' Academy-Award nominated film United 93. He also starred Off-Broadway in Nicky Silver's The Agony and The Agony with Victoria Clark. Jackson received a 2008 Drama Desk Award Nomination for Best Actor for his starring role as Sonny in Broadway's Xanadu, and gained critical acclaim for his turn as Joe Hardy in the Encores! run of Damn Yankees.
