Sofia works as a location scout for a network TV show shooting in New York City. It's her job to find the homes, businesses, and exteriors where the soon-to-be-shot show will take place. This means a daily journey into the private spaces and lives of numerous city residents, photographing their properties and briefly stepping into the fabric of their lives. Over the course of a day filled with these encounters, Sofia plays witness to moments of curiosity, vulnerability, and quiet tension, until her work takes a sudden, personal turn. THE SCOUT is a contemplative exploration of urban disconnection, following one woman’s quiet journey through other people's worlds as she struggles to find her own.

Cody Dericks Next Best Picture “The Scout” serves to remind its audience that there’s profundity all around us, and it’s up to us whether we want to take notice of that or not. Measure your life in love, indeed. Rated: 7/10 Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest “The Scout” may capture what it’s like to be on the outermost fringes of the dream factory, yet still, on so many fronts, you see a big break happening right in front of your eyes.
