What He Does at Thinkwell
Scott’s soft heart, sharp cinematic eye and unabashed love for people make him the perfect person to capture Thinkwell client messaging on camera. As our go-to guru for all things media production, Scott tempers his 35+ years of videography experience with endless patience, a positive attitude and a warm, humble nature—not to mention, a wicked good sense of humor both on and off set.
Early Life
When he wasn’t catching fly balls on the baseball field, Young Scott was usually riding bikes with his buddies, building a clubhouse up a tree (see also: treehouse), traveling with the church youth group on various theme-park and mission-trip adventures or honing his trick photography skills around the neighborhood (ever the visual arts enthusiast). The younger of two sons, Scott occasionally suffered the “kid sibling treatment” from his older bro but mostly enjoyed a peaceful childhood under the watchful, loving reign of his pastor dad and schoolteacher mom.
Education and Career
Scott attended college at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Communications and locked in his passion for video production. After graduating, Scott packed up his talent (not to mention boatloads of camera gear) and headed west to Memphis, Tennessee, where he landed a 13-year stint as in-house production coordinator for one of the nation’s leading children’s hospitals.
Eventually, Scott took the plunge and set up his own shop, launching Scott Fowler Productions in 1999. For the next two decades and some change, he relished the opportunity to travel the U.S.—and a few places abroad—producing videos for a wide range of corporate and non-profit organizations. Today, we’re over the moon to have Scott wielding his potent A/V storytelling powers to make messaging come alive on-screen for our clients here at Thinkwell.
Personal Life
When he’s not employing his creative brilliance behind the camera, Scott loves cheering for his children in various hockey, football and gymnastics forums across the Mid-South. He’s also an ardent University of Tennessee fan and has supported the Vols across countless seasons of highs and lows (more often lows—but GBO!).
A devout Christian, Scott also seeks out any opportunity to share the love of Christ with folks in his local community, as well as on church mission trips to Germany, Nepal, the Dominican Republic and other lands both near and far. In his true downtime, you might find Scott binge-watching a new forensics crime show or simply soaking up the sun with his wife on a lake-house getaway. Whatever the circumstances, Scott takes his cues on living life from Forrest Gump, one of his all-time favorite films: “You have to do the best with what God gave you.”
