observations about stoner culture, celebrity, the Silver Lake lifestyle, and female friendships.”

In 2020 and 2021, Scout released a duo of EP’s, COMEDY ELECTRONICA VOL. 1 and 2. That

music became the foundation for Scout’s feature length visual album, YOUTOPIA which

premiered at Outfest 2022 where it was the runner up for The Grand Jury Prize for Best North

American Feature. Her thirty minute comedy special is available in the Epix series,

UNPROTECTED SETS.
