Hi, I’m Adrian Scott, a writer by nature. I’ve been crafting scripts since 2009, starting with the TV pilot Dog Endz for Nadine Marsh Edwards and directed by Trix Worrell. I’m a writer who likes to build a treatment first and let the characters carry the story. As a writer of color, I tell stories drawn from my experiences, but I’m not limited by them. I explore the human experience across faiths, cultures and histories, and I love collaborating to bring complex voices to the screen. Highlights include being invited to SKY’s Writer’s Round Table in 2019, Abi Morgan’s Little Chick’s Lab in 2025, and writing Apnas (released in UK cinemas March 2026). I co-own Mellow9 Productions and am developing new projects, including a Jamie Lawrence football biopic and a potential sequel to Apnas.
