Life and career

Speer was born in San Diego, California. At age 23, he was signed with HSI Productions, and in 2006 Speer received the MVPA Award for Directorial Debut of the Year for the music video of "Stars" by Switchfoot.

In 2007 he won his first MTV Video Music Awards Latin America in Mexico, for his work with "Bella Traicion" by the Mexican pop sensation Belinda. In June 2007, he directed a three-part video series for Ashley Tisdale. These videos included "He Said She Said", "Not Like That" and "Suddenly" released on her DVD There's Something About Ashley. In 2009, he again directed music videos for Tisdale for "It's Alright, It's OK" and "Crank It Up" from her album Guilty Pleasure. He also had an on-and-off dating relationship with Tisdale from 2009 to 2012.

In addition to directing, Speer produced and second unit directed the feature film The Beat, an official selection of the 2003 Sundance Film Festival, and remains deeply involved in independent films. In 2010 Scott directed The LXD episode "Duet".

In 2012, he directed Step Up Revolution (2012), his feature film directing debut.

In April 2012, Speer released a young adult novel called Immortal City, about a world in which celebrity culture revolves around supernatural beings, specifically guardian angels.

In April 2013, Speer released a book called Natural Born Angel. He also wrote the preceding novel Immortal City (2012) and concluded the trilogy with Battle Angel in 2014. In 2015 he filmed the highly rated exorcism short film Realm, which was also later made into a full-length film.

Legal issues

In April 2019, Speer was arrested in Los Angeles following an alleged domestic dispute at his Hollywood Hills residence that resulted in arson charges. He was released on a $250,000 bond.

In May 2019, Speer’s wife filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Superior Court, according to court records and contemporaneous reporting.

In November 2020, Speer was sentenced to 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling, 45 days of community labor, and five years of probation after pleading no contest to reduced charges in the 2019 domestic violence case. The reduction included dropping the arson charge.
