Scott Wagner is a writer who also happens to perform spinal surgery during the day, and sometimes at night too. He hails from the farm region of southeastern PA and spent his homeschooled childhood directing his siblings and cousins in a whole lot of movies he made up. Dr. Wagner’s poetry and short stories have been published in university newspapers, literary magazines, as well as national magazines and even medical journals (1). He has published two books, and since deciding in 2021 to actually write down his movie ideas, has had scripts place at Austin Film Festival, Final Draft Big Break, Screencraft Comedy and now Script Pipeline First Look. He hopes to continue contributing to the inimitable art that is screenwriting in 2023 and beyond.
