WHO WE ARE
I picked up a camera in early high school as a means to document sports for a yearbook club. It quickly turned into a hobby and passion before becoming a profession a couple years later.
After graduating high school in ‘24 I went from Memphis to Knoxville to attend the University of Tennessee as a journalism major.
Growing up in a place where opportunity felt out of reach, I learned to look for the light in overlooked places. I built OTO Creative Productions to be the platform I once looked for—a way to give every story the spotlight it deserves.
When away from a camera or computer, you can probably find me on a Pickleball court or in a kitchen.

WHY US
OTO is an acronym for “On The Outside”. It originates from a short film Dalton Courtney released in 2025 telling the story of a college student struggling with identity placed in external factors rather than himself. Therefore, when creating this company, Dalton sought to create something that was unique, carrying his own creativity and passion, rather than making it the responsibility of others. OTO Creative Productions is rooted in a desire to make God known through intentional, faithful works independent of the world and its desires.
