Scott Stamper

Scott Stamper was born in Seattle, Washington and raised in Tennessee. While Scott was a child his father worked his way through law school as a Memphis city police officer. In just two years after graduating law school, his father was the youngest Judge to sit on the bench of Montgomery County just outside of Nashville.

Like his father, Scott was always an overachiever. At the age of 12, he set a world's record in marksmanship, chartered his first corporation at 14, earned a private pilot's license at 16, started college at 17, and purchased his first house at 19.

Shortly after arriving in Atlanta Scott started a lucrative computer programming company. In 1995 his firm was developing some of the first application software for the internet, before most people had even heard of the world wide web. By focusing on digital and streaming media he was able to combine his love of filmmaking and editing with his career.

For the past five years, Scott Stamper has been assisting independent filmmakers in the Southeast in bringing their visions to the screen. From writing and directing, to props and editing, he has worked in virtually every aspect of film/video production.

Scott recently directed the short feature entitled "Performance Anxiety".   He co-wrote, produced and directed this comedy, which starred Randall Carlton, one of the leads from Reign of Fire, and Dave the Dwarf, from the nationally syndicated MJ Morning Show. This ambitious short, had a cast of 30 and a crew of over 25.

Scott most recently completed the short feature "Just Asking For It", which he co-wrote with his wife Rachel and John J. Cornetta.

With a desire to jump from independent shorts to feature films, Scott Stamper and John J. Cornetta have formed First Cinema Productions, LLC. First Cinema is currently producing a   reality based television show created by Scott and is starting pre-production on a feature length version of "Just Asking For It".

Scott is married to Rachel Stamper, an award winning writer who has studied under several best selling writers and collaborates on most of his screenplays. Scott lives in Brookstone Country Club in Cobb County, Georgia with his wife, two sons and two black labs.

Scott is active in several local charities and helps coach handicap children for the Equestrian Special Olympics.

In his spare time, Scott developed the popular website AtlantaFilms.com, a free resource for Atlanta area filmmakers, screenwriters and actors. Scott is also very active in the local independent film community and is a member I.M.A.G.E. (Independent Media Artist of Georgia etc.) and the Atlanta Screenwriters Group.
