In 2023, he played a supporting role in the live-action film "How to Blow Up a Pipeline," marking his first film to have a wide release in theaters. He also took on a starring role in the thriller "Confessional." Dedicated to increasing representation in the entertainment industry, he founded Scribner Productions, which will adapt fantasy and sci-fi novels to elevate young Black voices.

A passionate humanitarian, Scribner travels the globe to give back to the people around him and the world. He serves as an ambassador for Defend Our Future, a project of the Environmental Defense Fund that is dedicated to empowering young people of all political persuasions interested in advancing climate change and clean energy solutions. He also serves as the Chief Youth Innovator for the Reserve Protection Agency in South Africa, helping to protect Africa's beautiful animals.
