About me

View profile
Multiple award-winning actor, director, producer, and production designer for film First Refusal, Court is grateful for her directorial debut’s international success in the festival circuit; screenings include: Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre, Milan’s historic Multisala Colosseo, and the legendary art-deco gem, Babylon in Berlin.

Modern-day Multi-hyphenate – Film TV and Stage actor, director, singer, cellist and visual artist, Court is a first generation American, coming from a line of German featherweight Champion boxers and Italian brick sh*touses in construction and demolition. 

Meisner-trained actor (William Esper) and magna cum laude double major Bachelor of Business Goizueta Business at  Emory graduate, Court integrates her Art and Business acumen into continuously developing, expanding and refining her creative brand.  

Close friends call her firecracker, one even accurately identified her as an ENTJ Commander personality type, (to which court immediately responded by intensely investigated repetitively, a very Commander-ey thing to do), Court’s endless energy thrives best when challenged and working in the unknown (chaos). Fiercely loyal, throwing herself entirely into every project, Court also has little tolerance for injustice and will be the first to defend.
