I’m Courtney aka Bourtney, an Australian director based between sydney and la. Whether it's a COOL COMMERCIAL, fresh new music video or stylised branded content, I don’t confine myself to the director’s chair and love getting involved with building out sets or squeezing the essence in the editing room.

My sweet spot is a nostalgic aesthetic, with a modern tone, and a little bit of cheek. Bursting with colour, my work is people-centric – exploring the weird, nuanced, and down right gorgeous. With an emphasis on high fashion styling, bold locations, and female-powered crews the process is as beautiful as the outcome.

My clients include a bunch of record labels and artists (universal, WARNER MUSIC, FUTURE CLASSIC) as well as some juicy brands (ADIDAS, BUMBLE, VOLKSWAGEN, the sims).
