Geno Scala
Geno Scala has spent more than two decades in the Hollywood community in a variety of different professional capacities, including as business associate, executive, screenwriter and producer. He was the Executive Director of a number of Awards shows including the 72nd Academy Awards (2000), the Grammy Awards, the Soul Train Awards, and the Blockbuster Awards.

As a professional screenwriter, and owner of The Script Mentor, he wrote "Banking on Betty," which went on to win the StoryPros competition, the Script Pipeline Competition, and was a Top Ten finalist in Scriptapalooza.

Today, he writes on assignment for various production companies, as well as a number of A-list clients, for whom he ghostwrites original screenplays and/or adapts original materials into features or television screenplays. He is known as the "Ghostwriter to the Stars" for his many works with A-list clientele.

Additionally, Mr. Scala is founder and CEO of the production company, Shark-Eating Man Productions. Geno served as the Executive Producer for such projects as "Back Salt", cinema's first minority superhero originally written in a lead role, and "Debris", penned by Nicole Jones-Dion. Other projects he produced include: "Mirror Lake", "The Dick Jones Project", "Season of Hope", "The Girl at the End of the World", "Practical Uses for a Time Machine", and the award-winning "Our Father", starring Michael Gross.

Geno regularly contributes his expert thoughts on the industry and screenwriting on The Script Mentor blog, various screenwriting sites, and through a number of groups on LinkedIn.

Prior to his career in the entertainment industry, Mr. Scala, a native of Staten Island, New York attended the University of North Georgia. He went on to serve as a Police Officer in Phoenix, Arizona where he was selected as "Officer of the Year" and worked with the Detective Bureau, investigating everything from simple assaults to sex crimes and homicides. He transitioned into private investigation, owning his own business in two states, and later, was requested to help manage the newly-opened Staples Center in Los Angeles in its maiden year of operation.

Geno loves spending time with his wonderful wife and four beautiful and talented children. In recent years, he has developed a love for birding. He is an accomplished singer, and he loves sports, politics, traveling, muscle cars, and tagging sharks.

Mr. Scala divides his time between Huntsville, Alabama, Los Angeles, and New York.
