ELLIS, D.
WRITTEN BY: Scott Leger
LOGLINE: A psychedelic real-time retelling of the true story of Dock Ellis’s 1970 no-hitter on LSD and the larger-than-life circumstances surrounding it.
INDUSTRY HIGHLIGHTS/BIO: “If you put Charlie Kaufman, Greta Gerwig, and John Hughes in a blender and your smoothie had the eyebrows of a young Martin Scorsese.”
SCOTT LEGER is a Director + Screenwriter (NEITHER AND BOTH, CELIE) who would rather write a dozen movies than this one bio, but here we are. Scott, we’ll call him, has screened his films at Cannes Film Festival, Austin Film Festival, and SeriesFest and worked at MTV, Sony Pictures, and Bravo, but let’s not talk about all that right now. A single hyphenate laser-focused on writing and directing for film and television, Scott continues to marvel at the beauty, wonder, and terror of the filmmaking process as it reveals itself deeper and deeper each new day and yet somehow simultaneously remains eternally mysterious. But anyway, this was supposed to be about me. I mean…Scott. Scott resides in Los Angeles.
