Troy Scott

Troy’s 2025 premiere of Mary J Blige’s “Family Affair” sets the stage for an exciting year ahead. As the third movie in Mary J’s successful Lifetime trilogy, “Family Affair” (starring Ajiona Alexus and Da’Vinchi) brought together an impressive team of executive producers including Mary J Blige, John & Jordan Davis, along with Mary J’s brother Bruce Miller via her Blue Butterfly Productions. This powerhouse team provided Troy with the creative canvas to showcase his excellence in achieving dynamic action, gripping narrative, innovative photography, and strong performances, as well as continuing his track record working with talented composers and artists on projects where exceptional music takes a key role in elevating the final product.

“Family Affair” follows up Troy’s exciting collaboration with two-time Grammy Award Winner LeToya Luckett: the star of "I Thought My Husband's Wife Was Dead" (2024). Based on the novel "Unmissing" by bestselling author Minka Kent with a screenplay by writer/ executive producer Tamara T. Gregory, this upbeat action thriller also showcases performances by Angela "Blac Chyna" White, Sherilyn Allen, and Jamall Johnson.

Troy is honored to partner with exceptional strong Black actresses and actresses of color, including star Meagan Good in the powerful film "Buying Back My Daughter" for which Meagan was recognized with a NAACP Image Awards nomination for Outstanding Actress, while co-star Faith Wright won both a Leo Award and UBCP/ACTRA Award for Best Performance.

That same year (2023) Troy partnered with leading lady Grammy Award Winner Stephanie D. Mills in "Pride: A Seven Deadly Sins Story" (2.2 million viewers its premiere week), following up his previous successful collaborations with Grammy Award Winner Ledisi ("All Saints Christmas") and Grammy Award Winner Michelle Williams ("Wrath: A Seven Deadly Sins Story," also with Tina Knowles-Lawson and Romeo Miller). "Wrath" was one of three installments by Troy in the Deadly Sins Lifetime Original series, also including "Greed" starring LisaRaye McCoy and Monique Coleman along with Eric Benet.

Troy's approach to directing is collaborative and authentic and empowers artists to give their best, including stars Luke Macfarlane and Ashley Williams along with Marcus Rosner and Peter Porte in "Notes of Autumn" (US Weekly's Best Hallmark Movies of 2023) and star/ executive producer Kim Fields along with Adrian Holmes in MTV's "Adventures in Christmasing" (DGC Outstanding Directorial Achievement Nomination). These Rom-Coms/ Rom-Adventures round out Troy’s demonstrated success with the genre (including “The Christmas Ring,” on this season’s People Magazine Must-Watch Hallmark Christmas Classics list).

Born in Jamaica, Troy grew up in Toronto and, after completing his film degree at University of Waterloo, then headed to Vancouver Film School and joined the Directors Guild shortly after, working as an AD for over a decade before breaking through as Director. He has established a strong body of work in thriller, drama, romance, and adventure genres, for Paramount+, Lifetime, Hallmark, Sony Pictures Television, and MTV Entertainment Studios.

Troy values opportunities to work with talented executive producers and creatives, such as Mary J Blige, Derrick Williams, John & Jordan Davis, Bruce Miller, Orly Adelson, Tamara T. Gregory, Bart Fisher, Terry Washington, Ray Chew, Shaun Robinson, Timothy O. Johnson, Maura Dunbar, Debbie Gibson, and Victoria Christopher Murray.
