"A good opening and a good ending make for a good film provide they come close together." — Federico Fellini

Feature Film Projects

Testament

A darkly spiritual supernatural coming-of-age period piece; Little House on the Prairie meets The Crow, kind of. Finalist for the 2002 Jim Burt Prize for best Canadian feature script from the Writers Guild of Canada.

 

The Road Less Traveled

Romantic comedy about a guy given six weeks to live. That's right, it's a comedy. And yeah, okay, there's a suicide. But it's a comedy.

 

Macbeth

The Shakespearean classic as a post-apocalyptic heroin dystopia, which we’re pretty sure is just what the Bard intended. Written with development financing from British Columbia Film.

 

Dostoyevski's Daughter

A university drama/comedy romance with a little period piece thrown in to drive any prospective producer mad.

 

Junction

A supernatural-thriller mystery romance — a murdered street cop is resurrected and recruited in the hunt for his own killer. Written with development financing from Astral Media's Harold Greenberg Fund.

 

Still Life with Frostbite

A romantic small-town homecoming hockey sex-romp comedy-drama.

 

Entendre

A 20-something sex, angst, and suicide psychodrama. For you monolinguists, it’s French for ‘listen’.

 

Objektiv

A Nazi thriller-romance (because the world needs more Nazi thriller-romances).

 

Dancing After Midnight

A philosophical teen sex comedy. (And, okay, it's got some drama, but that's mostly about teen sex, too.)

 

The Noize

Life behind the scenes at a dysfunctional newsweekly. (If you're checking out the 'TV Projects' page, this is the two-hour pilot for the series of the same name.)

For most of his time spent in screenwriting, Scott's been lucky enough to be able to work primarily on his own feature projects. (He's been doubly lucky to be able to make a living at it, which is often the tougher part of the process.)
