Originating with My2C Entertainment, the film and digital entertainment venture of Chris Williams, a digital pioneer and one of the first employees of Yahoo! Internet. At My2C, Scott was tasked with traditional film development, finance, and production. Scott cultivated a partnership with Idiom films as well as advanced the slate of individual motion pictures. My2C and it's underlying technology developments were later acquired by The Walt Disney Company and run as a subsidiary.
In 2008, Scott founded an independent film finance company Diverse Film Company with a mission to finance studio quality product populated with leading talent in the form of filmmakers and marquee stars. The company was poised to finance moderately budgeted, targeted stories in the $20-60MM range and partnering with major studios for domestic distribution. The notion was well received and particularly championed by casino industry veteran Edward M. Tracy, a CEO of The Trump Organization, The Sands Casinos, Hard Rock International and named a top 100 performing CEO by Harvard Review.
Post the 2008 Wall Street crisis, Scott turned to developing and financing singular films and slate models both independently and at a studio level. Focusing on late stage packaged films that were investment ready at the studios and independent films with marquee stars facing some particular challenge in getting financed. Scott also worked with equity financiers at the major studios who were looking for investment into their films on a singular or slate basis. Budgets on these projects ranged from $30-60MM to $200MM event and franchise opportunities.
Scott has worked with independent and studio based film companies to secure financing for slate opportunities from as little as $5MM up to $500MM.
