About Scott

Graduated from Yale with a degree in Comparative Literature and spent 20 years in the global ad business before becoming a screenwriter. I've written over two dozen features and TV series the historical fiction, thriller, action-adventure, dramedy, sci-fi and time travel genres with most featuring strong female leads.

Behind every great movie is a great story, and that's what I write. Big, exciting, entertaining, meaningful and memorable stories with broad commercial appeal that will connect with audiences all over the world and move hearts and minds.
