SCOTT McDERMOTT
Initially from Connecticut, Scott grew up in Switzerland, before returning to the US to study photography and cinematography at Ithaca College. His 20 year career as a photographer started out in sports but soon pivoted to portraits of athletes and then a prolific career in advertising for a wide variety of clients.
as a photographer Scott was fortunate enough to have worked alongside several A-list commercial directors like Brian Buckely, Tom Kuntz, director-X Russell Bates, Sam Pilling, and Erich Joiner. he captured the stills component to many iconic award winning campaigns they directed for brands such as DIRECTV, AT&T, Head & shoulders, Nike, HBO and NBC, to name a few. So ten years ago, when the opportunity to start directing came along,Scott was ready, having learned from the best. He has since directed many shorts, commercial spots and viral videos with over a million views.
Scott made his feature film directorial debut in 2019 with the documentary, "Danica: DRIVEN" that follows racing driver Danica Patrick in the lead up to her final race before retirement. The film was shot over 10 months in 11 states and has been selected into 10 film festivals, winning several awards. It is currently nominated for "Best Feature Doc of 2020" at the Motor Film Awards in London to be held in the fall.
