Leigh Scott  

Independent filmmaker and Libertarian lecturer/blogger. Currently writes for Andrew Breitbart's "Big Hollywood".

Born and raised in Milwaukee, WI, he attended the USC School of Cinema Television. His first job in the industry was working for Roger Corman, learning the tricks of low budget and no budget film production. He used these skills to produce and direct his first feature film, “Beach House,” at the tender age of 22.

Sadly, “Beach House” never found distribution (at least in the US, you can get a German copy on Amazon.com). He briefly turned his attention to other pursuits including buying a bar near UCLA, getting married, getting divorced, and buying a dog. But film flowed through his veins. He returned to filmmaking working for the Los Angeles based production company The Asylum, the company famous for "mockbusters" and the internet classic "Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus". While there, he produced and directed over 15 films in a span of two years including the infamous "Transmorphers" and the critically lauded "The Beast of Bray Road."

Currently, he runs his own production company in Connecticut making personal, sensitive art films for the direct to DVD market and dedicated fans around the world.

When he’s not making films about giant robots, mutant birds, and cannibals, Mr. Scott spends his time contemplating the complex problems that shape and affect our world, actively developing solutions.
