Episode 068 Scott Pellet S.O.S. Friend, Skater, Hollywood Film/TV editor, TEXAN!
Scott and I met over 10 years ago when he was trying to help put together a film on the history of Texas Skateboarding. We quickly became friends and have stayed in touch since then, sharing meals, skating, stories, hanging with family and mutual friends, etc…
Scott found an interest in filmmaking at an early age. Being a kid who grew up in the Dallas area and riding at the Jeff Phillips Skatepark, the first major media project he put together was on Jeff Phillips. Scott’s love of skateboarding, filmmaking and music have filled his life and still do.
He has been working in the Hollywood TV/Film world for quite awhile now. I have been fortunate enough to get to visit him at some of the studios he was working at and see sets for successful TV shows such as The Goldbergs and Chuck. He has worked as an editor on the TV shows “Chuck” (NBC), “The Goldbergs” (ABC), “Mad Dogs” (Amazon), “Sneaky Pete” (Amazon), “L.A.’s Finest” (Spectrum), “Painkiller” (Netflix) and the Lionsgate feature, “The Devil You Know”. You can check his IMDB credits by clicking on this IMDB link. You will see all the cool stuff this skater has done. I am stoked I have gotten to see a lot of it up close and personal over the years.
For several years, Scott and fellow Texans Heath Cherryhomes and Jake Kirby would make an annual pilgrimage to all the local skateparks while Heath and Jake stayed with me during the summer. We were all given nicknames and Scott’s was S.O.S. “Sex on a Stick”. I had Texas-sized stickers of our nicknames printed for our helmets symbolizing our brotherhood….
Things we discuss in this podcast that I think some of you might find interesting are our skating adventures, his work on his first film about Jeff Phillips, his Hollywood gigs and the time he filmed interviews (including Jeff Grosso) at my house. Hope you enjoy meeting another interesting person who has passed through my life and is also a skater and very talented in other realms…
