Scott’s vision came to fruition when he began directing documentaries for the startup company Zoom Culture. Several of those films were produced for the national Tv shows PLAYGROUND EARTH and HIP HOP NATION. Through his time at ‘ZC’ Scott identified himself shooting stories on everything from skilled street lugers to Los Angeles street art and numerous PSA’s.
On his next adventure, he supervised edits from the OLYMPICS as well as the 1st ever multiplatform broadcast with the Paralympics for NBC/Universal. He then further honed his documentary abilities shooting with the Gantz Brother’s production company View Film (of TAXICAB CONFESSIONS fame).
In 2005 Scott formed Zero Point Entertainment with companion Charmel Green and served as Senior V.P. of production. At ‘ZPE’ they developed and pitched many series and shot the first season of A BLOODY BRILLIANT LIFE which aired on ABC (Australia). In addition they developed the online video platform Kachoo!, packaged function films, developed commercials for cutting edge customers just like the Wellness Channel, and formed partnerships with industry veterans such as Promenade Photographs.
The duo discovered a missing element in tv a lot more than a couple of years ago: the desires and dreams, the extremely manifestos (or missions) of everyday people had been not becoming represented. Scott’s background intertwined with this deficit & inspired the project & show known as MANIFESTO! The series has been shopped through much of the world, has inspired countless commercial projects, and is now the subject of Scott’s function documentary in progress, WE WANT THE AIRWAVES.
