[Chinisha Scott] Is The Genre

Tim Barnes chats with filmmaker, writer, and The Daily Show segment director Chinisha Scott about the bumpy ride that media-focused millennials have had in the industry, constantly searching for the next great creative project, and the powerful impact of teachers who care.

Chinisha is an Emmy-nominated, award-winning, multi-hyphenate creator with nearly 20 years experience in Film, TV, and media production. She has been quite fortunate over the years to work on projects in direct alignment with many of her personal interests and values. From her sci-com writing on the Vox series The Future of… (Netflix) voiced by Jurnee Smollett, to her work as a producer on programs such as United Shades of America with W Kamau Bell (CNN), Chinisha’s sense of humor, storytelling, and wide range of production experience has landed her on some exciting and worthwhile productions. Currently, her handiwork can be seen as a Segment Director at The Daily Show (Comedy Central).
