Courtney Andrialis, Producer

COURTNEY ANDRIALIS is a native New Yorker, who after surviving thirteen years at an all girls school in Manhattan, went on to get her BFA in Film and Television Production from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. While at NYU, she produced numerous short films and music videos, including videos for the first singles of The Affair (Vice Records) and Latif (Motown), and was also one of the founding members of the Stern Tisch Entertainment Business Association (STEBA).

When UA merged with Sony in 2004, she went on to work in Development & Production at New York based companies HDNet Films and Open City, both run by producers Jason Kliot and Joana Vicente. HDNet was co-founded by Todd Wagner & Mark Cuban, and was the first all HD production shingle in the US. Under that banner, she served as Creative Executive on numerous films including Zoe Cassavetes’ Broken English (starring Parker Posey, Drea DeMatteo, Gena Rowlands), Brian DePalma’s Iraq drama Redacted, and Alex Gibney’s documentary Gonzo. With Open City, she oversaw a development deal with advertising mogul Donny Deutsch, and served as Creative Executive on Joby Harold’s Awake (starring Jessica Alba, Hayden Christiansen, Terrence Howard).

As Head of Development & Production at PalmStar, Courtney oversees all aspects of development and production of PalmStar’s current slate, and also fields all new projects that come into the company. She is a Co-Producer on all of PalmStar’s films, and the lead Producer on “Hetty”, alongside Ed Pressman.
