Scott andrew Hutchins was born in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1976. He has a bachelor's degree in communication studies and English from Indiana University-Indianapolis and a master's degree in cinema studies from The College of Staten Island/City University of New York.

He has been hired for various film projects, such as for PBS and Cold Grey Studio. He is currently trying to market a spec treatment for a semi-autobiographical film in the manner of Guy Maddin's Brand Upon the Brain!. a decided non-actor, he has nevertheless been drafted into small operatic roles in Brooklyn, New York. He has begun composing two operas of his own. Other screenplays include an adaptation of Shakespeare's The Life of Timon of athens, The Sketch, a horror-tinged fantasy set amidst a contemporary opera company, conceived to be played entirely by real classical singers with as little looping as possible. He also has a short screenplay titled The Hollow People, in which a female bank robber becomes Huck to a Jim. He currently lives in New York City.

Top of PageMisused Minds: Curse Of The Educated Youth
Synopsis:
Imagine Beckett's Waiting for Godot with two educated, intellectual, young women not doing well in the contemporary economy. Temping doesn't work, especially for the non-actor with a humanities degree. Enter a nerdy high school pal who introduced one of them to the works of Steve Gerber and has decided to become his own version of the Foolkiller-slaying big businessmen whom he believes are no friends to the newly-graduated. He has a biology degree that is proving just as useless, and he has severe back problems. He is caught before the end of the first act, and the unfortunately-realized metaphor becomes background for serious existential exploration in the second, using techniques of everything from cabaret to surrealism.
Notes:
Contains Adult language And violence. Recommended by Philomena Muinzer, former dramaturg of the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain.
