Scott McCullough(I)
- Director
- Producer
Scott McCullough doesn't just direct-he elevates. With over 208 awards to his name, his work speaks for itself, whether in high-end commercials, cinematic storytelling, or groundbreaking visual innovation.
A frequent collaborator with Prince at the peak of his career, Scott was behind some of the artist's most iconic music videos and concert films, including Prince Live at Glam Slam-a lost film from three decades ago, now released by Sony and Warner Bros. His work on the Diamonds and Pearls Super Deluxe Edition, a 2025 Grammy-nominated historical album, reinforces his lasting impact on music and film, proving that great storytelling stands the test of time.
Scott's ability to merge storytelling with commercial appeal has made him the go-to director for top-tier brands like NBC/Universal, NASCAR, Ford, Budweiser, and Pepsi. When Paul Newman needed a director for his final filmed appearance, he chose Scott over A-list names. That level of trust speaks volumes.
Beyond advertising, Scott has left his mark on cinema, blending artistry with technical precision. His NASCAR 70mm experience films set new industry standards, pioneering effects that shaped modern 4D entertainment. His narrative work continues to break new ground, with upcoming projects including Captain for Dark Mornings, based on Shad Meshad's acclaimed memoir on PTSD during the Vietnam War, and the high-concept action/horror film Infernal. His director's cut pilot, Three Days Gone: Based on the Life of Lucas Snow, achieved 19 festival wins and 28 nominations.
Scott isn't a Director-for-Now, chasing fleeting trends. He's built a career on substance, not shortcuts. He's not an Indie Darling Disaster, fading after festival buzz-his work endures. He's not a Script-to-Slip Director, letting great ideas fall apart in execution-he locks in every detail. And he's definitely not a Hype-and-Crash Director, all talk with nothing to show. When the stakes are high, Scott delivers.
A proud member of the Directors Guild of America (DGA) since 2001 and The Visual Effects Society (VES), Scott McCullough continues to push the boundaries of storytelling, blending passion, precision, and an unrelenting commitment to authenticity across every project he undertakes. As one PGA producer puts it, he's "astonishingly prepared."
