Scott Stuber: Hollywood Producing Meets Athletic Scouting and Locker Room Mentorship
Lacrosse
Deemer Class and Matt Dunn interview film producer and former chairman of Netflix Films Scott Stuber, discussing his career from Bluegrass Films to leading Netflix’s award-nominated film slate (2017–2024) and his 2024 move to Amazon MGM Studios to relaunch United Artists. Stuber shares how lacrosse entered his family when his wife steered their son from tackle football, and describes his relationship with Class as a mentor to his son. He recounts starstruck moments with Denzel Washington and Martin Scorsese, explains producing as a GM-like role blending creative taste with business realities, and emphasizes authenticity over purely commercial thinking. Stuber details breaking into Hollywood through persistence, highlights the value of mentors, communication, and individualized leadership, and reflects on modern youth-sports pressures, travel-team economics, early recruiting, and helping kids develop grit while navigating social media and over-parenting.
