In this episode of Drop Me Off in Nashville, Scott sits down with his co-writer Will to tell the unbelievable true story behind the feature film Prison or Life.

They’ve never met face-to-face.
 They come from completely different worlds.
 And yet — over four years — they co-wrote a full-length movie, word for word, scene by scene.

Will opens up about his life, his time in prison, and how lived experience shaped the authenticity of the story. Scott shares how trust, discipline, and raw honesty turned an unlikely partnership into a powerful creative bond. Together, they talk co-writing, breaking stereotypes, the emotional weight of storytelling, and how art can come from the most unexpected places.

This episode isn’t just about writing a movie —
 it’s about redemption, connection, and choosing creation over circumstance.

Real. Unfiltered. Human.
This is Prison or Life.
