Kabluey is Scott Prendergast’s first feature. The screenplay was selected for Film Independent’s 2005 Screenwriters Lab, 2005 Producers Lab, 2006 Directors Lab, the IFP 2005 Director’s Lab, and the Los Angeles Film Festival’s 2005 Fast Track Program. Kabluey premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival in 2007 to rave reviews (“This charming, pointed comedy is a genuine discovery” – Stephen Farber, The Hollywood Reporter) and opened theatrically in July 2008 (88% on Rotten Tomatoes / Critic’s Pick, Stephen Holden, The New York Times: “It is tempting to overpraise “Kabluey”)

Prendergast has made 5 short films. Anna Is Being Stalked has screened at over 30 festivals worldwide, including Sundance. The Associated Press said of Anna: “Pound for pound, this short film may have been the most entertaining seven minutes at Sundance [2002].” The Delicious has screened at over 40 festivals worldwide and was included in the first edition of Wholphin, the DVD magazine from Dave Eggers’ quarterly publication McSweeney’s. My Life was made for MTV, Group Therapy was made with Good Machine, and Saragossa was made through Fox Searchlight’s SearchLab Program. Anna and The Delicious have both been on the Sundance Channel.

Prendergast attended Columbia University in New York City and was subsequently trained as a comedy writer and improviser at the Groundlings Theater in Los Angeles. His one-man all-improvisational-comedy show, UNman, played for two years in New York City. Also, Prendergast was a staff writer on MTV’s Celebrity Deathmatch for two blood-filled, extremely violent seasons (and was reprimanded by top MTV brass for writing the “most disgusting episode ever”). Prendergast is from Portland, Oregon. He is an Eagle Scout, and he once spent an excruciating, college summer in costume as “Super Explainer” at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI).
