Assistant Director
I am a New York City trained 1st Assistant Director, now residing in Southern Oregon, where I have extensive experience leading teams through the logistics of filming in the great outdoors.
My experience as a 1st A.D. spans 2 decades. I have run multiple units, orchestrated traffic shoots, filmed new born babies with animals, charmed powerful personalities, led crews through forests and rivers, landed mountain tops for sunrise and magic hour, and made the day again and again, working with dynamic filmmakers, national brands and production companies committed to excellence.

“I’ve worked on several projects with Courtney over the years. She has a fantastic attitude and an amazing aura about her on set. AD’s are known for being the bulldogs of the set, but Courtney has this magical voice that motivates without creating offense.”
Tyler Maddox, Cinematographer & Producer
Professional, Conscientious, Hard-working.

“Courtney was our AD, and by the end of the production, our knight in shining armor. Starting from the beginning, she went above and beyond to ensure our production was a huge success. She is a rockstar leader and high level communicator. Highly recommend!”
