Scott has had the privilege of serving as Panelist & Judge at the Napa Valley Film Festival alongside other Network and Studio panelists, mentoring writers & filmmakers and discovering new talent.

Scott forged his path into the industry as a general assistant/runner to ultimately heading development for Merv Griffin Entertainment, Inc. Reporting directly to Griffin, he created and developed original scripted and unscripted projects sold to major outlets such as Buena Vista Television, TNT, NBC and others. Most infamously, Manville brought to market the Lance Armstrong autobiography, Its Not About The Bike, resulting in a bidding war that delivered the largest offer for life story rights in TV history.

He reflects, "It was a time of incredible challenge and growth, working with a group of prolific producers. The opportunity to create original projects to pitch for Merv was an education and experience money can't buy".

Scott continues to bolster opportunities for his associates by expanding his interests within the entertainment communities.
