About
I’m David Scott. For two decades, I’ve translated complex subjects into concise, compelling stories.
I’ve worked across documentary, editorial, branded, corporate, and digital production on more than 100 episodes and specials. My work spans every stage, from research and development through field production, writing, directing, and post.
Whatever the subject, my job is to understand the story quickly and deeply, then communicate it in a way that moves hearts and minds.
Based in Los Angeles and available for projects worldwide.
