Scooter P Entertainment was created to provide wider and more humane view of people of color in television and film. We keep the filmmaker in the ownership position as they seek distribution for their content.
Scooter P Entertainment was founded by Francis Perdue. In the essence of honoring her ancestors that came before her she has named the company after nicknames her parents gave her as a child. Scooter comes from her father Dr. Franklin R. Perdue, who gave her the nickname due to her taking the neighbor's son's scooter without permission and going around their Compton, California neighborhood. P stands for Pasapoo, in which her late mother, Carolyn Jean Walton Perdue used to call her with her country accent. Her mother was called a papoose by her Cherokee grandmother raised in Lafayette, Alabama so she placed her twist on it and called her daughter Francis Pasapoo.
Honoring and paying homage to those who came before us is a mission of Scooter P. Giving experiences to underserved filmmakers, content creators, directors and producers is the aim for the company.
Scooter P Entertainment is a Black Woman Owned and BIPOC distribution and content development company.
