Shepherding Screenwriting Talent
Scott Carr, Management SGC
– The Sharkpreneur podcast with Seth Greene Episode 880 Scott Carr
Scott Carr was born in Ontario, Canada, where he fell in love with movies and television at a young age. His father, a fisherman and small business owner, was one of the first in his neighborhood to get a satellite dish, and Scott would spend more time than he rightfully should have watching television and learning all he could about the craft and business of movie making - to the extent at which he made his own 90 minute original action film with many brave friends in high school. He collected movies and amassed over 1,200 titles, having his own veritable video store in his college apartment.
He majored in Kinesiology and Film Studies at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, where he also played football and did competitive amateur bodybuilding, and upon graduating, he immediately relocated from Canada to Los Angeles. He eventually got his start in Hollywood in the William Morris Agency mailroom in Summer 2008, where he worked until the merger with Endeavor. He also worked at UTA for 3 years, and spent a year as a development executive at Hollywood Gang Productions at Warner Bros., before starting the literary management company Management SGC where he represents writers and directors in film and television.
