"The Field"

"The Field"

It's October 1962, and a young boy tries to make sense of the world as nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia looms on the horizon. Imitating what they see on TV, the boy and his friends innocently play at war while nations prepare for it.

"The Field" is a quiet film that speaks loudest with the beauty of its images and the quality of its ideas.

Filmed in Sonoma County, California, over a three day period in the summer of 2002, the movie was shot in 16mm using black and white film and was crewed by industry professionals, high school students, moms and dads, and was made for less than $7,000.
