Scott was also a founding member of the United Film & Television Artists. Behind the camera, duPont is a member of the Producers Guild of America & oversees three (3) entertainment companies having produced over a dozen films. One of Scott's unique advantages to having successful film releases is his marketing skills which led him to pursue a Master's degree in Marketing (Webster University) with his thesis project on Film Marketing. This obsession of marketing has proven a great resource to exploit his company's films using creative strategies with smaller P & A budgets to return money to his investors over the years. In between productions, duPont writes columns for several entertainment industry publications including The Director's Chair, Focus In, and ChART magazine & is a regular guest on the radio show Entertainment and the Arts. Making connections & reading hundreds of scripts via the different film organizations he helmed, Scott has optioned and purchased several sought after scripts & valuable properties. In 2007, with the backing of his most loyal film investors, he formed Scott duPont, Inc. to help acquire & develop additional film properties. duPont is now teaming up with existing investors and an investment group out of Miami & New York to raise a new production slate of $25 million to produce & market several films (some of which have been in development over 10 years). The 1st film belonging to this new slate is: "Ticket Trouble" expected to start production in 2017. Show less «

Some days on set I'm the producer, other days an actor, other times I'm background talent. It doesn't matter what role I'm doing or playing, no matter how big or small. I'm still contributing to the project and always remind myself what a privilege it is to be 'on set' and be part of this entertainment industry! Show less «
