The Scout
September 27, 2025 @ 11:30 am – 1:00 pm EDT
A film by Paula Andrea Gonzalez-Nasser
Sofia works as a location scout for a TV show pilot shooting in New York City. The film takes place over a twenty-four-hour window in the lead-up of the show beginning its principal photography. Throughout the day, Sofia asks to enter the private space of a handful of the city’s residents and in doing so, steps into the fabric of their lives.
These brief voyages into the lives of others are intimate yet transactional, enlightening but one-sided – a source of both potential connection and alienation for Sofia. Over the course of a day, she struggles to find her footing in this mess of contradictions and the endless momentum of her unusual job.
