Instructor

Courtney G. Jones is a 30-year veteran of the film and television industry who has long been an advocate for the kind of accessibility mobile film making brings to creators. Not only does he serve as head of development for Steve Zahn & Rick Gomez’s company, Macaroni Art Productions, but he has produced and directed feature films, commercials, documentaries, and series - some of which have been shot on mobile. Courtney brings a wealth of technical and creative know-how to the classroom.

His main goal with teaching mobile content creation is to show that anyone can make something amazing with the technology in their pocket.

When Courtney is not writing, producing, filming, editing, or teaching, he’s typically daydreaming about flying, living on a boat, or trying out new recipes in the kitchen.
