A graduate of The New York Institute of Technology in 2004, Kurt worked over the next decade to become one of Jamaica's most sought after Assistant Directors.

With six feature length films on his resume for directors ranging from Idris Elba to Cary Joji Fukunaga to Reinaldo Marcus Green, Kurt picked up the Director's hat in 2010.

Having built a list of commercial work as a Director for clients including UNICEF, Scotiabank, Visa and MasterCard, he has also directed multiple music videos for artistes such as Christopher Martin, Romain Virgo, and The NoMaddz with a specific focus on story driven imagery.

The winner of both the "Best Local Film" and "Viewer's Choice" awards at GATFFEST 2018 for his short film "Origins", Kurt's narrative work has been presented at the UN, Canada, England and Africa as he continues to build a strong reputation as a storyteller.
