Scot Silver
- Special Effects
- Actor
Scot Silver got a taste of the rest of his life when he started as a
Special effects assistant to Rick Josphsen in 1986. He was caught up in
the magic of telling stories on film. After working on several
productions, Scot wanted to produce his own films, not sure what
exactly that was going to entail. Scot left the movie industry in 1991
opening up his own welding shop and expanding it to a full fledged
construction company. When Scot married his sweetheart Cynthia Hatch he
told her he would one day produce his own movie. He never let his dream
of producing his own film far from him. 15 years later, not any closer
to that dream, Scot changed his direction with the help of his wife.
"Put up or shut up" was what she told him. With that in mind, Scot sold
everything... 40 acres, house, backhoes and cranes, to embark on making
his dream a reality. With the help of his wife, he put together the
script he had in mind and bought cameras, equipment and build dollies
and Chapman to film the movie. The script was started in September of
2006, the filming took 3 months and post production another year. In
the end Scot was able to not only produce his own film but wrote,
directed and acted in it, now completed - "Dead Man on the Run".
"Dead Man on the Run" premiered in the Xango Grand Theater at the Scera
Center for the Arts in Orem, Utah. Over 250 people excitedly attended
the long awaited premier.
