Dennis Scholl - Philanthropic Flow - Documentary Filmmaker & Miami Arts Leader

Miami entrepreneur, art collector and philanthropist, Dennis
Scholl, made his first documentary film at age 50. Fifteen years
and thirty films later, this former attorney and CPA now has
thirteen regional Emmys to show for his humble excellence as an
artist. Films celebrating creative titans Tracy Emin, Theaster
Gates, Wynton Marsalis and Frank Gehry have been featured at
festivals worldwide, including SXSW and Sundance. His current
films include “The Last Resort,” now on Netflix, “Singular” about
3x Grammy winning jazz vocalist, Cecile Mclorin Salvant, and
“Lifeline”, about 50’s Abstract Expressionist painter, Clyfford
Still. As a former VP of the Knight Foundation, Scholl oversaw a
national arts program with cultural grants totaling close to $200
million. As the current CEO of Miami Arts organization, Oolite
Arts, Scholl's leadership skill for finding and funding art
projects has never been hotter. As the recipient of an Oolite
Ellie Award, Swan Dive co-host, Stuart Sheldon, can attest to the
profound value Scholl brings to Miami's vibrant art community and
beyond. This dynamic gentleman's multiple swan dives provide a
road map for each of us to put in the work require to follow our
passions.
