After graduating from the London Film School Scott produced several short films including London Short Film Festival 2024's Best U.K. Short, Highgate 214, and the follow up feature, The Burning Chicken.

He has written 16 shorts and 3 features, but it was a conversation with his younger brother about his experience as an addict that prompted him to direct his debut short, The Bird Feeder. The film was executive produced by Alan Cumming and starred Lewis Gribben (Somewhere Boy), Kate Dickie (Red Road), and Ruaridh Mollica (2022 BAFTA winning short, Too Rough).
