Field notes

The page functions as an archive for a short film rather than as a conventional film-business site. It records the production context, names Matt Legrand as writer, director, and producer, and credits Hsiao-Yen Jones for cinematography and editing. Its screening record spans locations including Cannes, Singapore, Milan, Leeds, and Flagstaff, while a transcript link preserves the film’s argument in text form.
