Scott Ballew is a filmmaker and musician from Austin, Tx. He is best known for directing documentaries on iconic artists such as Jimmy Buffett, Tom McGuane, Terry Allen, Jim Harrison, Margo Price, Ryan Bingham and others.
His resume is staggering, from his work as Yeti's Head of Content, where he oversaw or directed over 100 short films and commercials, to more recent independent ventures, including a documentary on Terry Allen and a film, All That is Sacred, chronicling the hazy creative stratosphere of Key West in the 70s that premiered at Telluride Film Festival. The latter is a glimpse of the lives of American literary giants Thomas McGuane and Jim Harrison and superstar Jimmy Buffett. Ballew's latest endeavor is a near-obsessive pursuit of quality songwriting, a skill that landed him on La Honda Records' coveted roster who put out the albums Talking To Mountains, Leisure Rodeo, and Rio Bravo.
