To explain the origins of the company, we'll have to travel back in time a little bit. In 2011, while studying at his secondary school, Actor and Screenwriter Anthony Fulton set up and managed an extra-curricular school group where fellow pupils could attend and read through scripts that he himself had written, in the hopes of one day producing short films. At this time, the group was known as the
Scope Filming Society. In 2012, Fulton left his secondary school, progressing into further education at College in Edinburgh, taking the idea of Scope with him. His first of studying, within a Creative Media course, allowed him to explore basic technical skills required for filmmaking. As part of his course, students were to create their own short films for assessment, part of the task including that they also create a company name for themselves to use - it was here that Fulton decided on the name, Scope Industries. Since then, Fulton has taken time away from focusing on the development of Scope Industries in place of his studies in Acting and Performance but in 2018, while studying his final year at the University of Sunderland, Anthony Fulton returned to writing his own material - this time for another academic module wherein he tasked himself with producing a short film using only basic equipment and software freely available to aspiring filmmakers. His aim to prove that anyone could produce a film if they had the drive and determination to do so. As a result, Scope Industries' first official short film, Dead Romantic, was released in May 2018 and while certain aspects of the film are far from the quality of major blockbusters of today, his point was proven. Graduating from University and basing himself in Edinburgh, Fulton is now eager to continue working on the development and establishment of Scope Industries, hoping to branch into various forms of entertainment including Film, Television and Theatre.
