Joe's very first company,along with his business partner, Chad Gundersen, was Morningwood Productions,[22] an independent motion picture production & distribution company, the two would later go on to rename the company Night & Day films[23] just 2 years later. In 2010, so as not to have his company confused with LA-based film company, Night & Day Pictures and to because his business projects had expanded outside of film making alone, Scott later re-branded the whole company to Scott Creative Endeavors, Inc, no longer working with his former partner.
