A little about me...

Hi! I’m Courtney Hoskins. I’m a writer/director based in Los Angeles. My short films have aired on the IFC channel and have been featured in dozens of film festivals around the world, including The New York Film Festival, The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Ann Arbor, and BFI London. I’ve even won awards for my projects such as the Slusho!! Commercial Contest of Joy with my short, Slusho! Zoom!!! (with Robots)

I’m currently in pre-production on my feature film Alienation through my production company, Little Oneironaut Productions, and promoting my most recently completed 35mm short film, The Not.

And how did I get here? When I was in the second grade, my mother received a call from the school. They were... concerned. I had excellent grades. I was well-behaved. I was kind to the other kids in my class. It's just that... well, how do I put this?

I had recreated the entire set of the television show Moonlighting in miniature in my desk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, I was directing the other kids in reenactments of Disney movies on the playground using Little Golden Books as our "scripts." Apparently, these activities distracted a bit from the school curriculum.

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to understand how the things I love worked- to see if I could make them my own. My habit of deconstructing and tinkering extended to household appliances, art projects, toys, and later to computer technology. This curiosity and creative urge has stuck with me my whole life.

I love the art of storytelling and weave that into everything I do, whether I am working on a film or video project, writing a work of fiction, or building a software application. Science and technology are ultimately tools to help us communicate and to better understand the human experience. Humans are story-driven creatures and crave engaging experiences.

When I am not tinkering, I am off adventuring. I like to spend time in the air, on top of mountains, underwater, or out in the middle of nowhere with a telescope.
