Olympia Film Festival: The Scout: Post-Film Q&A w/ Mimi Davila

Sofia works as a location scout for a television show in New York City. Over one packed day, doors open to her in apartments, shops, and offices, and she briefly enters the lives of many strangers, seeing moments usually kept out of view. What begins as a straightforward assignment shifts unexpectedly, drawing her work into a more personal realm.
