Биография
Academy Award® nominee Scott Hamilton Kennedy is a writer, director, producer, cameraman, and editor. He has worked on everything from documentary and scripted film with legends like Roger Corman, directed music videos like Jimmy Cliff's international hit "I Can See Clearly Now," to commercials, motion capture animation, scripted and reality television. His documentary work includes Oscar Nominated The Garden, which tells the story of the complicated struggle over the nation's largest community garden; Independent Spirit Award Nominee OT: our town-about the first play in 25 years at Dominguez High School in Compton; and the critically acclaimed Fame High, which follows four students through a year at one of the most respected and competitive performing arts high schools in the country. Scott recently launched Time Capsule Movies, a production company that personally curates documentaries that capture special moments in your life to be shared for generations to come.
Scott's latest documentary, narrated by the esteemed astrophysicist and science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson, is Food Evolution, which, through resetting the GMO controversy, highlights the importance of using the scientific method to help everyone - from parents to politicians - make better decisions. Food Evolution was both one of the most controversial and well-received documentaries of 2017, garnering a rare 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, where the LA Times wrote: "Calm, careful, potentially revolutionary, Food Evolution is an iconoclastic documentary on a hot-button topic," and the NY Times: "Food Evolution posits an inconvenient truth for organic boosters to swallow: In a world desperate for safe, sustainable food, GMOs may well be a force for good." It has been screened on Capitol Hill, the National Academy of Sciences, the European Parliament, the FAO, and many more.
