Field notes
The page includes a synopsis that traces Mott’s three assignments, from finding an unwitting saint to writing a scroll before the next Sabbath. Its director’s statement describes an intentionally shifting process: the story developed as filming proceeded, while music took shape during editing. A gallery labeled as 28 photographs documents the production, and the festival timeline names events and locations rather than presenting only general acclaim.
