89 - Scotty Mullen - Writing, Acting & Building Worlds 🎭✍️

A great Vertical lives and dies by its story and script 🎬✨ And when you’re bringing an entirely new genre to life, creativity becomes everything.In today’s episode, I’m joined by someone who truly embodies creativity – Scotty Mullen 🎭🔥Actor, writer, and casting director, Scotty talks to me about his latest project “Kiss of the Pirate King” (releasing May 8 on MyDrama) ⚓🏴‍☠️We dive into where he finds his inspiration, how he playfully teased director and producer Dylan Vox with his ideas, and how the pirate world ultimately came to life 🌊 From leads like Nick and Emma to a pirate ship, a castle, and even a dungeon – Scotty brings it all together into a rich period piece story with ease.His creative process? Headphones on 🎧, music playing 🎶, a quick power nap… and suddenly his fingers are flying across the keyboard ✍️💥With over 12 years of experience as a writer and deep insight as an actor on set, Scotty knows Verticals from every angle. Interestingly, he feels like he often ends up playing versions of his own brother (whom he very clearly loves 🤭). His biggest challenge? Playing… himself.We also talk about how he got into writing, what still challenges him today, and the long-term goals he’s working toward 🚀 Plus – creatives can look forward to a valuable piece of advice from Scotty, and yes… there might even be a few subtle spoilers about “Kiss of the Pirate King” 👀A refreshing, creative, and genuinely fun conversation – including some spontaneous plans involving a love for Europe 🇪🇺✨So grab your headphones and join us on a journey between storytelling and the camera 🎧🎥Some Verticals Scotty worked on:Kiss of the Pirate King (MyDrama) - Screenwriter/ActorDaddy, Don't Hurt Mommy (Dramabox)Alpha of Shadows: The Queen Returns (Dreamehort)Swapped Bodies with My Secret Crush (MyDrama) Screenwriter/Actor#vertical #podcast #new #verticals #community
