Our guest this week is little bro, Scotty Mullen, an award-winning writer known for his work with Syfy, Lionsgate, Lifetime, and Tubi. He is also an accomplished casting director and writing mentor. After getting his feet wet writing on the pop-culture juggernaut "Sharknado" franchise, Scotty's storytelling skills have evolved into writing everything from prestige horror scripts to true-life dramas. He believes in living life by following "The Other F Word" - if it's not fun, don't do it...As of this date, Scotty has written 35 produced screenplays which have been filmed in 7 different countries. Scotty is known for being an enthusiastic collaborator with producers; almost all of his scripts have been written on assignment. Scotty is often hired for his script doctor skills and ability to save a production from the proverbial "developmental hell."

With over 15 years of on-the-ground Hollywood experience as a publicist, ad executive, casting director, and screenwriter, Scotty loves to help creators navigate smart and achievable ways to pursue their goals.
