You need to understand rejection and get used to hearing the word “no” and “pass” a lot.

As a part of our series about “Filmmakers Making A Social Impact” I had the pleasure of interviewing Scott Steindorff.

Scott Steindorff is an international television and film producer and writer who specializes in adapting literary bestsellers into premium movies and television. Having been in the business since 1998, Scott has brought to life projects like Netflix’s docu-series “Firechasers,” NBC’s hit series “Las Vegas,” which ran for 5 seasons, John Favreau’s “Chef,” “The Lincoln Lawyer,” with Matthew McConaughey, “Love in the Time of Cholera,” and the critically acclaimed and award-winning miniseries for HBO, “Empire Falls,” which won a Golden Globe for Best Mini-series or Motion Picture Made for Television — just to name a few. To boot, Scott is an ARC board member and Neurodiversity Advocate who regularly speaks with high schools and colleges across the country on the importance of emotions and feelings, as well as facing substance abuse.
