Scott duPont was born in New Jersey (also lived in New York) is an award-winning actor with 3 Crystal Reel Awards based in Hollywood. duPont honed his craft in the Florida market living near Universal Studios FL & Disney-MGM Studios for 15 years working on 100+ short & independent films and TV pilots. In 2005, duPont was elected State President of the Florida Motion Picture & Television Association and to the Board of Directors for Film Florida. He was later elected President of the Florida Cast & Crew Association, served as Chairman of the Florida Alliance of Media & Entertainment and was a founding member of the United Film & Television Artists. Behind the camera, duPont is a member of the Producers Guild of America & the International Documentary Association. One of Scott's unique advantages to having successful film releases is his marketing skills after acquiring a Master's degree in Marketing with his thesis on Film Marketing. His obsession on marketing proved a great resource to exploit his company's films using creative strategies with much smaller P & A budgets to get R.O.I. to his investors over the years. In between productions, duPont currently consults with other indie filmmakers giving advice how they can fund their own projects - a taboo topic covered in Movie Money CONFIDENTIAL (a documentary he produced). Scott also hosts the popular weekly podcast "Finance YOUR Movie!" (now in it's 6th season) which helps educate, inspire & empower other filmmakers to get money for their projects.
