CORTNEY "CORT" WILSON

California-based film and documentary director, writer, and Emmy-nominated producer. Hailing from a remote fisherman's town in Sonoma County, Cort's roots are a unique blend of a Brooklyn mother (actually from Jersey) and a father who was a legendary commercial fisherman and a musical genius. Cort's career took off at Andrea Sperling and Joey Soloway's Topple Productions, contributing to the Golden Globe and Emmy-winning series Transparent and I Love Dick. Since 2020, Cort has focused on impactful documentary content, consulting on "Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me" for Apple TV+ and "Love, Lizzo" for MAX. Their notable work with MasterClass includes Creative Producing courses featuring Ringo Starr (Emmy-nominated), Yo-Yo Ma, Joan Benoit-Samuelson, and MKBHD, to name a few. Cort is currently developing a “Friday Night Lights-like” sports documentary series about a Division 6 Girls Basketball team in rural Northern California called SMALL TOWN HEROES.
