About Connor Scott

Connor is a features writer for Collider who specializes in westerns. Some of his favorites are Ride the High Country, Blood on the Moon, and Deadwood. When he’s not watching westerns, he’s probably watching something else, whether it’s the newest darling art film or the latest Nic Cage showcase. Besides that, you may see his name in the credits of one of his short films, or soon on bookstore shelves (okay maybe not that soon).

He lives in Atlanta, GA, where he desperately tries to outpace his ever-growing watchlist. It’s a losing battle.

In addition to his work writing about film, Connor is also a practitioner. Mostly, his work has been in small-scale short films. Recently this has taken form though experimental animation projects. One such Project, The Hand of Franklin, played at the Atlanta Film Festival in April of 2023.
