Scott Ackerlund

Born and raised in Chicago, IL, Scott's interest in the entertainment industry began when he was ten years old acting in local musicals and school plays. However, his real passion for film came when he was a freshman in high school being cast as a supporting lead in a feature film being shot around his town. After continuing stage acting for almost a decade, Scott moved to California and earned a bachelor's degree in digital filmmaking from the Art Institute of Los Angeles in Santa Monica. Since then he has written and directed many short films, music videos, and commercials and has been a part of several projects within the Los Angeles and Chicago film industries. On and off set, Scott has had major roles in every phase of production from being a production assistant, key grip, camera operator, producer, director, actor, editor, and colorist. Currently he works as the staff Creative Finisher and Colorist for a commercial post production agency based in Chicago. Show less «
