Shaun Scott (born November 8, 1984): American filmmaker, film director, film editor, writer, historian.[1]

Film Career

Scott is a Seattle-based independent filmmaker whose first feature film was "Seat of Empire" (2009), a 3-hour long documentary tour of the city of Seattle using archival footage.[2] In 2010 he directed and wrote "Waste of Time", a historical mash-up of original footage, archival images, and contemporary music meant as a portrait of consumer capitalism.[3][4]

Scott's first narrative feature was "100% OFF: A Recession-Era Romance" (2012), a docudrama about a kleptomaniac and the immigrant wife with whom he enters a marriage of convenience.[5][6][7] It was followed in 2014 by "Pacific Aggression", a straightforward narrative about a social media addict and the blogger she stalks.[8] In 2014, Scott announced plans to direct the (as yet uncompleted) feature film "Their Eyes Were Watching The Light," a period piece about a hostage situation set in 1932.[9]

Writing Career

Scott began a career as a writer in late 2014, contributing pieces about American politics and race relations to The Monarch Review[10] and The Seattle Weekly.[11] In July 2015, Scott was hired by City Arts Magazine as a columnist, where he runs an ongoing thread called "Faded Signs" about popular culture under late capitalism.[12]

In September of 2015, Thought Catalog Books published Scott's short-form essay "Something Better: Millennials and Late Capitalism at the Movies" on iTunes and Amazon.[13] Scott is currently at work on a book-length history of the Millennial generation titled "Millennials and the Moments that Made Us: A Cultural History of the U.S. from 1984-present."
