Learn Filmmaking: The Journey

(Archive: Year 2024)

Scott Budnick is a powerhouse in both Hollywood and social impact. Best known as the executive producer of The Hangover franchise, Scott built his name producing blockbuster hits like:

  • Old School

  • Starsky & Hutch

  • School for Scoundrels

  • Due Date

  • Project X

  • The Hangover (Parts I, II & III)

  • Just Mercy (his powerful reentry into purpose-driven filmmaking)

But Scott’s journey didn’t stop at box office success. He’s the founder of the Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC), a nonprofit dedicated to justice reform and supporting formerly incarcerated individuals. He’s also the CEO of One Community, a film, TV, and media studio focused on storytelling that drives social change.

In this episode of The Journey, Scott shares how he transitioned from producing iconic comedies to becoming a leading advocate for criminal justice reform. He answered insightful questions from our @learnfilmmaking community in a live Q&A.

We also talk about purpose-driven storytelling, what it means to use your platform for good, and how real impact begins when you follow what truly matters!
