Profiles

Scott Bloom began working professionally in Southern California 15 years ago as a freelance editor for Feature Documentaries, Situation Comedies, Film Trailers and Reality Television.

In 2005, Scott launched Tragoidia Moving Pictures and began stretching as a Producer/Director by shooting and editing the award winning documentary "Original Pride: The Satyrs Motorcycle Club", his first independently produced feature length film which premiered at Film Festivals and on television networks around the world.

"Call Me Troy" his second documentary, went on to win accolades and awards from coast to coast while highlighting the early struggles of the gay community and Troy Perry's personal civil rights journey. It's hoped that "Call Me Troy" will provide an historic foundation for textbook learning for generations to come as well as a vivid reminder of how far we've come as a society.

"Out For the Long Run", which was inspired by an article in the Los Angeles times, is his third and most ambitious project yet. It chronicles the life of some of the most passionate young people you'll ever meet, Openly Gay High School and College Athletes. Tentatively set for release in late 2009, these young men and women exude class and confidence and give new meaning to word Courage.

Scott resides in Los Angeles with his partner Larry and their dogs Kody and Nick.

Larry Diamond began his film-making career by working in Educational Films. He later moved into the communications field where he currently holds an Executive title.

As Co-Producer for Tragoidia Moving Pictures, Larry's creative energies were easily re-engaged when presented with tasks associated with both the "Call Me Troy" project, and "Out for the Long Run".

Larry works to ensure that projects which come from Tragoidia Moving Pictures, receive their rightful spot in history and that the films will be accessible to learning institutions, the public, and to organizations having interest in the subject matter, worldwide.

Larry is a native of Southern California, and resides in Los Angeles with his partner, the Producer/Director of "Out for the Long Run" Scott Bloom, and their dogs, Kody and Nick.
