Scott Reynolds was born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1968. Both of his
parents worked in Hollywood Cinema in the suburbs of Auckland. One of
his first memories was seeing
The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957)
and
A Fistful of Dollars (1964),
an experiment at the origin of his obsession for the world of film. As
a teenager, he started to work as projectionist in Hollywood Cinema,
and this was his way of studying the process of movie-making. His
principal influences are Kubrick, Scorsese, Raimi and Hitchcock. His
first short film "The Minute" was carried out in 1992 and was selected
for the London Film Festival. His second short film
A Game with No Rules (1994)
was completed in 1994 and was officially selected for "Un Certain
Regard" at Cannes Film Festival. He gained the Gold Palm in the drama
category at the Chicago Film Festival. The first film of Scott
Reynolds, The Ugly (1997), is a
suspense film made in Auckland and released in 1997.
