Artist Bio
Scott McConnell is a writer/story consultant who has worked as a producer in Los Angeles and in fiction development. Scott edits stories from inside them as a writer. He finds solutions to story problems and can especially focus on improving a story’s premise. Scott believes this is where most films/scripts succeed or fail. He also finds that many good writers don't focus enough on theme. It is through theme that a writer moves an audience emotionally. Scott can edit low budget features as well as big budget blockbusters. He fixes scripts for individual writers and production companies around the world. Scott started in the business as a story analyst in Los Angeles; analyzing scripts for Roger and Julie Corman, Samuel Goldwyn and the Sundance Institute, among others. He was later the showrunner (writer/producer/director) of the U.S. nationally syndicated Live Life and Win! and he co-wrote the reality series Hollywood Boot Camp. He has found the story by studying footage, reading scripts/books, pre-interviewing talents, and writing or editing the script. He can mentor screenwriters to write a script from concept to good first draft. Scott is a member of the Producer’s Guild of America and of the Australian Film Institute (AACTA.) Born and raised in Newcastle, Scott has travelled the world and lived in Los Angeles for 21 years.
