Film Forum to host US theatrical premiere of Paula González-Nasser's The Scout
On Friday, September 25, Film Forum will host the U.S. theatrical debut of The Scout, the first film directed by Paula González-Nasser. Drawing from her six years of experience as a location scout, González-Nasser tells the story of Sofía, a young scout portrayed by Mimi Davila. The film chronicles a single day in Sofía's life as she seeks ideal interiors for a television pilot. As she navigates personal and professional challenges, including accumulating parking tickets and feedback from the crew, her day becomes increasingly taxing. Through subtle vignettes, The Scout provides an insightful look into the often-overlooked role of location scouting.
