Scott Elder

Scott Elder began his career by selling his first screenplay to Walt Disney Studios alongside his longtime writing partner, Josh Harmon. A screenwriter, director, and producer, he is best known as the creator and writer of the WGA Awards–nominated action-thriller series *Most Dangerous Game* (2020–2023), which premiered on Quibi and later moved to The Roku Channel. With Josh Harmon, Elder reimagined Richard Connell’s classic 1924 short story into a modern, fast-paced narrative starring Liam Hemsworth and Christoph Waltz. In addition to *Most Dangerous Game*, Elder has written the documentary *Waterman* (2021), as well as upcoming thrillers *Act of God* for BYU Broadcasting and *Whiskey Throttle* for InTension Industries. He has also written for animation (*Secret Saturdays*, 2008) and streaming (*Among US IRL*, 2022) for DevinSupertramp on YouTube. His short directorial debut, *Hébé Kills Jarry* (1998), premiered at SXSW 1998 with some distinction. His work often explores high-stakes, dramatic, character-driven narratives across varying genres.
