Selected Work
Scott Tompson a Media Producer (STaMP)
I’ve spent decades working across all kinds of television — from news and documentaries to entertainment, travel, sport and live events.
This diverse professional experience has taught me how to shape and tell a stories that will engage with and hold audiences through to the end.
The work below shows how that’s played out — in different roles, across different projects, and more recently, in the way I’ve adapted those same principles to new platforms and technologies and audience demands.
Bush Doctor (SBS Doco series)
Bush Doctor was my idea—but it began uncommissioned, unfunded and outside my skill set. So I taught myself to shoot, self-funded the project, and embedded for six months in Walgett, a remote NSW town with just two GPs.
The result was an SBS prime-time documentary series—the first of its kind in Australia—rating at double the network average and directly leading to 13 doctors taking up outback placements within a week of broadcast. It wasn’t just content; it changed behaviour.
Following this, the NSW Alliance of General Practice commissioned me to design, produce, and manage a television advertising campaign that increased local immunisation rates from the lowest in NSW to the second highest within six months.
Poh & Co. (SBS and Netflix)
SBS commissioned a 10-part series with Poh, one of Australia’s most recognisable and widely loved cooks. When the initial pilot failed to meet expectations, I was brought in to redefine the format and re-establish creative alignment.
Following an initial meeting outlining a new direction, Poh recommitted to the project. I went on to series produce, direct, shoot, write and post-produce two seasons of Poh & Co.
Series one became SBS’s highest-rating program of the year, leading to a second commission and subsequent international sales, including to Netflix in the United States.
AI
My latest work explores AI-driven filmmaking and emerging forms of digital storytelling. I have developed original workflows, styles and production methods by working directly with a range of leading tools and techniques.
Alongside this, I have been analysing social media platforms—how algorithms shape visibility, how audiences engage, and how content performs in increasingly compressed formats.
SYDNEYSIDERS is a four-minute arthouse film that brings these elements together, testing the power of shock, surprise and character in full and broken into vignettes, within an algorithm-driven environment built on ultra-short attention spans.
The ASP World Series Surfing
The ASP World Tour broadcast required immediate leadership after the previous producer exited without handover. The event delivered daily international news packages and a major broadcast into 250 million homes—failure wasn’t an option.
Despite having no background in surfing, I stepped in, travelled to Japan at short notice, built trust with athletes and crew, and delivered consistent coverage under intense daily deadlines.
The production succeeded, I was invited back the following year, and when Andy Irons secured his third world title, I was granted exclusive access to his first feature interview.
Reality Monster
Network 10 launched a prime-time reality series to compete with The Block, but the format faltered in its first week on air, placing the production under significant pressure.
I was brought in to produce and studio direct the live Sunday elimination shows, and within days assumed control of the full six-night-a-week production.
Through rapid structural and editorial changes, ratings stabilised and began to climb, building a loyal audience and allowing the series to continue—retaining sponsors and supporting future commissions for the production company.
More recently, I’ve worked across high-profile returning series and premium factual productions including The Block, Jamie Durie’s Future House, Iconic Australia, and House of Wellness, alongside a growing slate of bespoke, web-first content for brands.
Across broadcast and digital, I operate end-to-end—combining roles as series producer, director, shooter, interviewer, writer and editor—to deliver lean, high-quality content designed to cut through and perform across platforms.
