Scott James (technically Andrew Scott James, but “Scott James” tested better) is a producer who lives at the intersection of advertising craft and indie filmmaking.
In commercial work, he’s produced campaigns and spots for brands including Meta/WhatsApp, BMW, Wells Fargo, Blackstone, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Aptive, Land Rover, and food brands like Herdez and Wholly Guacamole. He’s happiest when he can stay close to the creative—building the plan, protecting the idea, and getting the thing made without anyone losing their mind (including him).
On the film side, Scott has produced several short films that have premiered at festivals including SXSW, Brooklyn Film Festival, and Rhode Island International Film Festival, with additional screenings across the circuit. He co-produced the feature Omaha, which premiered at Sundance and has gone on to earn major festival honors, including the Grand Jury Narrative Feature Award at the Dallas International Film Festival, the Audience Award for Narrative Feature at the Nashville Film Festival, and the Cinekind Award at the Munich Film Festival (among others).
His work has been recognized by The One Show (including a portfolio award and multiple pencils), the Art Directors Club, the Telly Awards, and the Clio Awards—plus an Emmy Foundation College Television Award.
Scott, a graduate of BYU, is married to Aubrey, and they’re raising three kids, David, Molly & Eliza—who already understand that “producer” is just a fancy way of saying, “we’re leaving in five minutes.”
