Owner, michael scot films
My cinematic journey began at the Brea Improv comedy club, where as an assistant manager, I started making demo reels for comedians. This initial foray evolved into filming training videos, seminars, and eventually, commercial projects, amassing over 25 years of experience in filming and editing since 1992. I started to film weddings and fell in love with it because it went along with my emphasis in documentary film studies.
Beyond the lens, I revel in hosting the Spotify podcast “Proggy,” a celebration of progressive rock music. A lover of animals, especially my canine companions, and an avid music fan from my days working in a record store, I am a filmmaker with a deep passion for my craft, a keen sense of humor forged during my time at The Improv comedy clubs, and an unwavering commitment to crafting extraordinary videos that resonate with everyday people.

Stress-free, easygoing, and focused on the essence of your narrative, I capture moments that matter. Whether it’s the emotional crescendo of a wedding, the energy of a live event, or the compelling narrative of a brand, I tell your story through video.
