Biography
Gary Scott sometimes jokes that the job of a producer is "to write the cheques and send other people out to have fun". But Scott enjoys the challenges of the job. He says producers have to be troubleshooters and peacekeepers, and adept at balancing the demands of both art and commerce — since "the commerce is what funds the art".
