Scott & Clients
I am the grandson of steel mills and coal mines south of Pittsburg and raised in the SoCal sun. The result is a dual citizenship of eastern work ethic and blind romantic optimism.
I’m a dad to two daughters, second rodeo husband, have really solid kitchen skills and will try to play with your dog (we travel far too much now to have our own). I can talk to nearly anybody. I need coffee in the morning. I expect to share a bite of what you’re eating: food is communal.
I love to capture relationships. The messy, scratched up, dream filled mile markers which drive us crazy and feed our soul. My work is about those people, those memories.
Fun Fact: my first job in high school was selling peanuts at California Angel baseball games. In front of thousands each night we hustled for commission, dealt with drunk fans, flirted with popcorn girls and saw the occasional double play. I never caught a ball but loved every minute of it.
Starting in 2010, a personal project shot over seven years changed my career. ISHues is our 93 minute documentary centered on Ish Herring, a talented singer who grew up on the wrong side of Everything. Darryl McDaniels (DMC of Run-DMC) and 5 time Grammy - Blind Boys of Alabama are featured. I co-produced, co-directed. We are beyond excited to submit this fall to select festivals for next year. See the Trailer under ISHues Film. More info at ishues.org
This is one of the craziest, best jobs on the planet: to be center of a visual circus. It involves constant change and the occasional tight rope walk. Once on set, I work quickly with talent... no I mean it, really quickly. Gone are the tigers, but I will put a dog in the shot if given the chance. I am perfectly comfortable talking with clients at anytime. I'm respectful it’s their budget and we are entrusted to use it with thought and care.
