Duncan Scott (born May 28, 1947) is a film and television writer, director, and producer. Scott was one of the screenwriters of Atlas Shrugged: Part II and Atlas Shrugged: Part III. Early in his career, he became involved in the restoration of the 1942 film We the Living, a project that he continued to be involved in over the next several decades. Scott also directed and produced for television, winning several Emmy and Telly Awards, as well as being nominated for a Peabody Award.
Scott began his career as a film editor. In 1969, he began working with Ayn Rand on re-editing an American version of the once-censored Italian film We the Living, a film based on Rand's first novel. Scott has been interviewed several times about his involvement in the restoration of We the Living. His company, Duncan Scott Productions, now owns and distributes the film which stars Rossano Brazzi and Alida Valli.
Duncan worked as an assistant director on feature films alongside filmmakers Woody Allen and Sidney Lumet, on films such as Deathtrap, A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy, and Zelig. In television, Scott produced and directed over thirty half-hour programs for the PBS public television series, Innovation. Duncan directed musician Eric Clapton for a public service announcement, interviewed anthropologist Margaret Mead for a documentary, and has worked with other notable figures.
