Episode 18 - Scott Rice
On this episode, we talk to Scott Rice. Scott is an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and Addy Award-winning commercial director. After studying under world-renowned film scholar David Bordwell, Scott began his career as an art director for Activision. He scripted the groundbreaking hit game SOLDIER OF FORTUNE, and has since written on assignment for Elizabeth Avellan (SPY KIDS), among others.
Scott and I discuss how to choose a story, why a growth mindset matters, and the proper length of a short film.
We hope you enjoy this episode.
Scott is represented by the Brant Rose Agency in Los Angeles for film/television, and Two Shot West Productions for commercials.
