In 2003, Scott co-founded the Colorado Film Institute and the Vail Film Festival to serve as a platform to educate aspiring filmmakers, showcase unique artistic visions, and to ensure that powerful, creative independent films are seen by the movie-going public.

In 2005, Scott helped bring LA's acclaimed Hotel Cafe, one of the music industry's premier venues for singer/songwriters, to the Vail Film Festival, a partnership that continues to this day.

In 2006, Scott helped secure the Vail Film Festival partnership with Film Your Issue, a national issue film contest, in partnership with the American Democracy Project, featuring 30 to 60-second films. Thirty-five semi-finalists were named by the competition, and five winners were selected through a combination of a jury including Walter Cronkite, Brian Williams, then Senator Barack Obama, George Clooney, Philip Seymour Hoffman and others. The winning films from the Film Your Issue contest were screened at the Vail Film Festival.
