Scott is an assistant professor in the Park School's Department of Television-Radio.

In September, the film will be screened at the Festivalletteratura, Italy's largest literature festival, as part of the Pagine Nascoste screening series, and at the Atlantic Film Festival in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Scott has also been invited by the director of the the Canadian Film Institute in Ottawa to screen Scouts Are Cancelled and his 2003 short, Dear Pam, in October.
