The Full Story

Although born in New York City, Kort moved to Los Angeles at a very young age and considers himself a Los Angeles native. He often calls those first four years in New York the hardest years of his life! Fast-forward to his first gig writing, directing and editing commercials and music videos at Chrysalis Records, and he never looked back. He has gone on to edit over 300 commercials, promos, television spots, and award ceremonies for many clients including Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Oscars), Television Academy (Emmys), Art Directors Guild, Artisan, Atlantic, EMI, Enigma, Fine Line, Fox Searchlight, Gramercy, Hollywood, RCA/BMG, Savoy, SRO, 20th Century Fox, Amazon Prime, BBC America, Castle Rock, CBS, Columbia, Discovery, Dreamworks, FX, Harpo, HBO, MGM, Morgan Creek, Netflix, New Line, Nickelodeon, Paramount, Relativity, Sony, StudioCanal, Universal, Warner Brothers, and Walt Disney.
Additional commercial collaborations include Acura, Apple, Carl’s Jr., General Motors, General Tires, Mattel Toys, Maxon/Cinema 4D, Mitsubishi Electric, Porsche, Rockwell International, Shubert Theater, Spaulding, Vons, Walt Disney Educational Media, Yamaha, Yamaha Marine, and Yamaha Motorcycles. 
His most recent projects in animation, voiceover episodic television and awards ceremonies for the Art Directors Guild, Amazon, FX and Netflix have inspired Kort to also include developing independent projects such as The Bunkbed Trilogy audiobook series for kids and a slightly irreverent puppet travelogue series for kids and adults alike.
