Scott Sousa is a New York City-based grip technician. He was born in southeastern Massachusetts. He is the youngest of two children. His parents, João and Anna, immigrated to the United States from São Miguel, Açores. In high school, Scott was introduced to Charles Bukowski and he remains to be a driving influence in his life today. Scott showed an early fondness for film making and shot several comedy skits with his cousins and music videos with friends. He attended the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and received a BA in Communication. There, he wrote, directed and starred in several shorts and worked on a live television crew for a class. To help pay for college expenses, Scott often worked 40 hours a week as a bus driver on top of a full class load. Scott interned at Troma in late 2009, where he earned editing and intern credit on various projects including Meat Weed America, Bazaar Bizarre, Mad Dog Morgan and A Fistful of Troma. In September of 2014, his Canon DSLR was lost in transit on a domestic flight from Newark, NJ to Madison, WI, and since then he has advocated for better airline lost and found protocols.
