A Jersey girl through and through, Chelsea Courtney was raised on a robust diet of outdoor adventure and James Taylor. (You thought I was going to say Springsteen...that's also true).

​

When not making an absolutely delicious mess in the kitchen, as any daughter of a chemist and home cook would, she’s finding new running routes through Central Park and destroying another game of Jeopardy.

​

She’s equal parts brains, brawn, intense stubbornness, and deep sensitivity, all shoved in a five-foot-one package. She’s a fierce leader with the passion and charm to back it up (just look at those pearly whites!).

​

By way of Philadelphia, Chelsea now resides in Manhattan where she’s working on her next self-produced project and still trying to prove she’s the best at everything.

2022 UPDATE: LOCKED DOWN has officially received online distribution! Stay tuned here for details on its release date and where to screen from home.

​

Chelsea's latest film, LOCKED DOWN, has been making the rounds at festivals across the US!

​

Her film will be screening live in Los Angeles in September at Lady Filmmakers, Dallas in October at Topaz Film Festival, and New York in November at YoFiFest. Online streaming is also available worldwide during Lady Filmmakers through October 3 and during Venice Shorts (dates tbd).

​

LOCKED DOWN is also Chelsea's debut as a writer and producer- all created in the throes of the shutdown. She's beyond humbled by the response thus far and can't wait to see where else this pandemic film goes!
