< Back R. Scott Shields rscottshields5303@gmail.com IMDB Profile Scott had a career in visual effects before writing his first script. Working as the coordinator on features like HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS, SCOOBY DOO and THE X FILES gave him insight to the collaborative process of studio film making. Combining that experience with his love of great sports films like ROCKY and HOOSIERS, Scott took a break from visual effects projects and wrote a heartwarming sports drama about horse racing that won a series of contests and became his calling card. Paid writing assignments soon followed, so Scott left his visual effects career and begin work as a professional screenwriter. Since then he's written screenplays across many genres but sports dramas and underdog stories are what he's best known for. During the extensive research for his biopics on sports legends John Force (drag racing) and Oscar Schmidt (basketball), Scott had to not only gather facts but also build trust with the principle characters in order to faithfully tell their compelling but sometimes unflattering stories. Scott lives in Santa Clarita, CA with his wife and two children.

After trouncing metastatic cancer three times and surviving a lot of truly crazy medical trauma, you can believe a tame goal like becoming a professional TV writer isn’t going to scare her off.
