Biography

Scott McCullough is a 208-time award-winning director known for his high-end commercials and groundbreaking cinematic storytelling. Named one of the Top Ten Innovative Minds Disrupting The Entertainment Space by LA Weekly, Scott has cemented his place as a creative force in the industry. His contributions to the 2025 Grammy-nominated historical album "Super Deluxe Edition Box Set - Diamonds and Pearls" include his work as director/cinematographer for the acclaimed concert film "Prince Live at Glam Slam." Released by Sony and Warner Bros. on Blu-ray, the film has been hailed as "Sensational" (NPG/Warner), "Superb" (Classic Pop), and "the real prize of the set" (The Current).
 

A frequent collaborator with Prince during the pinnacle of the artist's career, Scott elevated music videos and home releases to unprecedented levels of visual excellence. His work includes multiple RIAA-awarded titles such as "Gett Off," "Diamonds and Pearls," "3 Chains o' Gold," and "Sexy M.F.," collectively generating millions in sales.
 

Scott’s ability to merge storytelling with commercial appeal is evident in his work with prestigious brands like NBC/Universal, NASCAR, Ford, Budweiser, Pepsi, Target, Kumho Tires, Coors Light, General Motors, Chevy, Amtrak, and E.A. Sports. Collectively, his campaigns have contributed to Fortune 500 companies with a combined value exceeding $582 billion. Notably, this includes screen legend Paul Newman's selecting Scott to direct his final filmed appearance over Michael Bay.
 

Demonstrating his multifaceted expertise, Scott conceived, wrote, directed, and shot the groundbreaking 70mm NASCAR experience films "100%" and "No Bull" for Thunder Theater. These innovative productions showcased in the world’s largest mobile theater and introduced cutting-edge effects that paved the way for today’s immersive 4D experiences.
 

Scott’s talent has extended seamlessly into motion pictures, where he explores profound themes with an artistic vision uniquely his own. The pilot "Three Days Gone: Based on the Life of Lucas Snow" achieved 19 festival wins and 28 nominations along with several other films and more awards. Currently, he is helming transformative projects such as "Captain for Dark Mornings," based on Shad Meshad’s critically acclaimed book about PTSD during the Vietnam War, and the effects-driven action/horror feature "Infernal" and many more.
