- 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.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Katie Stephens

- My dream is to make a positive difference in people's lives through story telling. That is what keeps driving me every day.
- Every Sunday night, when I was a young kid, I borrowed my sister's 5" portable TV and at 9 o'clock while my parents thought I was sleeping, I'd be watching the big ABC movie of the week until 11:00 or 11:30pm.
- Some days on set I'm the producer, other days an actor, other times I'm background talent. It doesn't matter what role I'm doing or playing, no matter how big or small. I'm still contributing to the project and always remind myself what a privilege it is to be 'on set' and be part of this entertainment industry!
