Scott Gracheff is a Multi-Emmy Award winning Producer and Director with decades of experience in Film/TV production. Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, he learned filmmaking at an early age and still has his beloved Chinon 200/8XL Super 8mm camera (and it still works too!). He cut his teeth as a staff producer-director at PBS before moving to NYC in 2009.
His documentary work includes, "The Rugby Player", winner of multiple festival awards including the HBO Audience Award for Best Documentary from The Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival. The film tells the story of Mark Bingham, one of the passengers on Flight 93 on 9/11, and his mother, Alice Hoagland, a former United flight attendant. "Soldados" aired along with "The War", Ken Burn's landmark PBS series about WWII. The documentary highlights the experience of Latino WWII soldiers, and received a 2008 Emmy Award Nomination. The award winning "Dave Tatsuno: Movies and Memories" uncovers the story of a man who smuggled his 8mm film camera into a Japanese internment camp and secretly filmed his family's 3-year life behind barbed wire. "Return to the Valley" explores the Japanese American experience after WWII and won a 2004 Emmy Award. "Out In The Night" examines an incident where four young women were violently threatened on the street, defended themselves and were then convicted in the court and media as a 'gang of killer lesbians'. The film won numerous festival Jury and Audience awards and was featured on the PBS series P.O.V.
Scott is an Executive Producer and the Head of Production for the creative production company, The Diamond Bros. By combining artistry with technological prowess, The Diamond Bros integrates bleeding edge technology with bold creativity to achieve the ultimate end goal - finding the best way to tell the story. Believing you are only as good as the people you work with, Scott values the power of a team above all else.
