BIO
COURTNEY GRAHAM is a Toronto-based indie producer, writer, and accomplished I.A.T.S.E. camera assistant who's collaborated with Emmy and Academy Award winners. Her work behind the lens caught Guillermo Del Toro's attention, resulting in credits on THE SHAPE OF WATER, NIGHTMARE ALLEY, and FRANKENSTEIN. Other credits include DOWNSIZING, THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY, and FUBAR.
A recognized storyteller, she's a Canadian Film Centre Producers Lab alum. STAG, her first produced feature starring Donald Faison, sold to Netflix.
In 2024, she turned her talents to screenwriting, becoming a semifinalist in the Austin Film Festival Teleplay Competition and in the 2025 Cinestory TV Retreat with the first draft of the first script she’d written.
Committed to nurturing new talent, she produced three short films for Boat Rocker Productions’/ REMIX City Life Film Project. Supporting emerging voices from at-risk neighborhoods made this one of her most rewarding personal experiences.
