A great Vertical lives and dies by its story and script

And when you’re bringing an entirely new genre to life,
creativity becomes everything.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by someone who truly embodies
creativity – Scotty Mullen

Actor, writer, and casting director, Scotty talks to me about his
latest project “Kiss of the Pirate King” (releasing May 8 on
MyDrama)

We dive into where he finds his inspiration, how he playfully
teased director and producer Dylan Vox with his ideas, and how
the pirate world ultimately came to life

From leads like Nick and Emma to a pirate ship, a castle,
and even a dungeon – Scotty brings it all together into a rich
period piece story with ease.

His creative process? Headphones on , music playing , a quick
power nap… and suddenly his fingers are flying across the
keyboard ️

With over 12 years of experience as a writer and deep insight as
an actor on set, Scotty knows Verticals from every angle.
Interestingly, he feels like he often ends up playing versions of
his own brother (whom he very clearly loves ).

His biggest challenge? Playing… himself.

We also talk about how he got into writing, what still challenges
him today, and the long-term goals he’s working toward

Plus – creatives can look forward to a valuable piece of
advice from Scotty, and yes… there might even be a few subtle
spoilers about “Kiss of the Pirate King”

A refreshing, creative, and genuinely fun conversation –
including some spontaneous plans involving a love for Europe

So grab your headphones and join us on a journey between
storytelling and the camera
