Synopsis of the Film: A day in the life of a comedian forced to teach traffic school to make ends meet.
Bio-filmography of the Director: Scott's interest in filmmaking was spawned after watching Star Wars on the big screen way back in 1977. "I want to do that", was his mantra. Attaining that goal took a little longer than he planned. His quest began with acting in elementary school plays. A Christmas Carol was his first. He fell in love with the craft and continued to pursue it, never forgetting his ultimate goal. Attending a trade school and earning an Associate's degree in video production finally put him behind the camera...where he always wanted to be. He completed a handful of music videos and shorts right after graduation, his goal just within reach. Unfortunately, he got sidetracked by accepting a job as a video editor with a local news station. Five years later, an artistically frustrated Scott rolled the dice. He quit his job and moved to Los Angeles with the intentions of doing what he said he was going to do way back when. He started acting, appearing in a several shorts and independent features. He cashed out his 401k and bought a video camera and Final Draft, writing and directing A Dance With Darkness, his first L.A. short. The film got the attention of Librium Pictures, a small, independent production company. Scott and Librium paired up and collaborated on his first feature, Big Bag Of $. He is currently in preproduction on two more features, both to be shot in 2008. "I want to do that", he said as a small boy. I guess he meant it.
