Carolyn Scott
Producer/Director/Filmmaker and Educator with more than 25 years leading teams in education, technical and film endeavors.
 
Carolyn is Founder and Executive Director of Turtle Island Films, whose mission is to bring “green” films and media to a large audience. Currently she is developing a visionary project: REEL GREEN, a ground-breaking green film networking venture, using sophisticated web technologies to both distribute “film packages” and network local activities with their communities for “take action” events.

In 2000-2001 Carolyn’s organizational and design instincts led her to found and lead a small creative team who developed a compatibility software system for an Internet dating company. Early in 2007 Carolyn began working with a small, specialized team of highly successful people in the entertainment and internet industry to bring a “virtual assessment engine” with applications in relationships, corporate, education to the market.
 
Carolyn was winner of the prestigious 2003 Roy W. Dean Writer’s Grant to further develop a film series about women around the world who are working to find solutions to global ecological issues. The first film in the series Texas Gold won BEST DOCUMENTARY at the New York City Short Film Festival and has been selected for more than 30 film festivals worldwide. Texas Gold was acquired by Sundance Channel for Robert Redford’s “THE GREEN” film series premiering April 2007. PBS Emmy winning series Natural Heroes has also acquired the film to begin broadcast in the Fall of 2007.
