“My vision for BC, and for Surrey-Panorama, is one where workers and their families are put first.”

Nolen Scott is a film professional, musician, labour organizer and community advocate with nearly a decade of experience working in British Columbia’s film and television industry.

As an Assistant Director, Nolen has worked on major productions including Shōgun, Tron: Ares and Off Campus, as well as independent Canadian productions including Sweet Summer Pow Wow. His experience in the industry has shaped his commitment to stronger labour protections, fair pay and better working conditions.

Nolen previously served for two terms on the Production Assistants Caucus Advisory Committee of the Directors Guild of Canada, where he advocated for increased rest periods, higher pay and other workplace improvements for production assistants.

Outside of film, Nolen is active in the Lower Mainland arts community. He is a co-founder and board member of the Vancouver Venue Co-op, an organization focused on supporting independent arts and culture. He helped organize the co-op’s first flagship festival, Everything But the Bagel, which supported more than 30 artists over a 20-hour event.

Nolen has also been involved in grassroots community organizing and has spent time speaking with residents about affordability, working conditions and the challenges facing families across the region. His work in both the film industry and music community has strengthened his commitment to workers, community participation and accessible arts and culture.

Nolen is running in Surrey-Panorama to advocate for working people and families, affordable housing, stronger communities and a government where residents feel their voices are heard.
