Courtney Richardson has been passionate about film and photography since childhood after being fascinated by the camera work and editing in the Halloween film franchise. This inspired her to start filming family events from a young age. She pursued her dream by studying film at Full Sail University in Florida. Richardson is now working on documentaries and short films while earning her Bachelor's degree in Digital Cinematography, with the hope of working in documentaries and horror films. She has developed her skills in editing, visual effects, cinematography, and photography over her fifteen year journey dedicated to her dream career in film.
