Scott Brothers Entertainment (SBE) is an entertainment production company founded by brothers J.D., Jonathan, and Drew Scott. Josie Crimi serves as Executive Vice President of Development & Production. Founded in 2010, the company creates television, film, and digital content for distribution in North American and international markets. Most of the initial content focused on projects starring Jonathan and Drew, best known for the Property Brothers franchise. More recently, the brand has expanded to media vehicles outside of the brother's brand. The logo for Scott Brothers Entertainment features the heads of the three brothers, in order: Jonathan, Drew, and JD. Jonathan and Drew also formed a pop, rock, country music duo named The Scott Brothers releasing a number of singles and music videos.
History
Brothers JD, Jonathan, and Drew Scott found Dividian Production Group in 2002 as an independent film company.[1]
In 2013, they shifted the focus from film to television and digital platforms. With offices in both the US and Canada, Scott Brothers Entertainment is currently in production on two original series for Scripps Networks Interactive, as well as other projects.[2] The web series Toddler Vs. Toddler and Property Brothers Big Day Off were produced in 2013 and aired on HGTV and the W Network.[3][4] The webisode Makeover Manor was produced for Funny or Die and also starred Love it or List It stars David Visentin and Hilary Farr, Scott McGillivray, Ty Pennington, Bryan Baeumler, Candice Olson, Sandra Rinomato, plus Jersey Shore stars, Sammi Giancola and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro.[5] In 2014, Scott Brothers Entertainment produced the new series, Half Price Paradise, for HGTV and HGTV Canada.[6] Scott Brothers Entertainment also produced Property Brothers: at Home, which was the highest rated series premiere on HGTV since 2009. Property Brothers: at Home featured Jonathan and brother Drew Scott as they renovated their Las Vegas family home.[7]
In 2014, SBE expanded its in-house digital team to focus on making more online content for their network partners.[8]
SBE founded The Producers Ball, a fundraising event held during the Toronto International Film Festival that highlights North American media producers.[9] Each year, the proceeds benefit a charity.[9]
Projects
The brothers are currently developing a screenplay written by their father James, called High September, about a cowboy who wrongly served a 30-year sentence, only to come out and be abandoned by his family.[10]
Jonathan has written a documentary series about renewable energy.[11] Together, the brothers have written two screenplays, one about a lonely "hook up" artist, and the other about "a band of brothers" from a rural town who have wholesome values.[11]
