Scherson's debut film Play was awarded Best Director at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival. The Times called Play a "doozy of a showreel," but also criticized its "sketchy emotional construction." Scherson's second film, Tourists, was selected for the 2009 Tiger Awards Competition. Scherson collaborated with author Alejandro Zambra on Vida de Familia, a film based on one of his stories. The 80 minute feature was screened at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2017.
