The scouts
Berlinale selection at the 58th edition is among the most serious short film credentials available — Chung's film belongs in the vault on pedigree alone, and the production craft visible in the oEmbed data confirms the work was made at the appropriate level.
Berlinale 58 actually is pedigree, and the description leans on it. Six and a half minutes for a drama of time and human encounter — vague to the point of suspicion, but the festival placement isn't nothing.
Berlinale 58 selection — that's serious pedigree for a 6:32 short. Ted Chung working within the European art-cinema festival circuit, which usually shows in the craft. Hard to tell more without the page revealing much.
