GUEST
BIOS:
Academy Award nominee Scott Hamilton Kennedy is a writer, director, producer, cameraman, and editor and has worked on everything from music videos and commercials to motion capture animation, scripted and reality television, and fiction and non-fiction film.
Scott's documentary
The Garden was nominated for a 2009
Academy Award for Best Documentary feature. It tells the story of the
South Central Community Garden, the largest of its kind in the
U.S., and its complicated struggle for survival. Scott's debut documentary, OT: our town, tells the underdog story of the staging of the first play in twenty years at Dominguez
High in
Compton, California, and their attempt to produce
Thornton Wilder's
Our Town. Scott's most recent film is
Fame High, about the
Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (
LACHSA). Fame High follows five freshman and five seniors through a school year as they try to become successful actors, singers, dancers, and musicians.
A native of
Detroit, Mark MacInnis has been witness to the ongoing collapse of his hometown with the failing local economy.
Having worked on other film projects, Mark elected to put his experience into action by making "
Urban Roots."
Financing the movie himself by waiting tables, and spotlighting the efforts of local humble citizens of the motor city, Mark has shown himself to be an emblematic independent filmmaker.
Beyond being an artist, Mark has gone the extra step of founding the Urban Roots-Field of
Dreams project, which is creating small farms in urban high schools to educate young people in the realities of food growing. He currently lives in
Los Angeles, California.
