Scott Bridges is a writer, a teacher, a blogger and a film-maker — not necessarily in that order. He lives in Melbourne where the lattes are sweet and the Moleskines sweeter, but has called pubs in Brisbane, Sydney, London and Ediburgh his “local”.

Scott worked in television for a while and rates his jobs doing overnight presentation shifts at TVSN (c. 1999) and camera at the Ipswich horse races (c. 1996) as far more important than his job directing at Sky Television in London (c. 2000-2002). More important because of the brilliant stories that came out of those jobs and that Scott will tell you if you buy him enough beer.

One day while riding a killer nine minute T-bar on a snowboard at an Austrian ski slope for the fifth time before midday, Scott decided to become a teacher. And so four-and-a-bit years later he was.

In 2006 Scott co-directed and filmed an AFC-funded documentary called “Bowling For Gold” and in the years since has worked on a number of documentaries in a number of capacities.

Scott has loitered around the Australian blogosphere since 2003 and has a love/hate relationship with it. If Scott and the blogosphere were people they would’ve married, divorced and re-married each other at least eight times. He currently co-edits the satirical blog Groupthink.

Scott writes regularly for Crikey, ABC Unleashed, and newmatilda.com.
