2019 DFF The Field Driftless Film Festival Saturday, November 2nd 7:30pm Mineral Point Opera House
The Field will be screening at the 10th annual Driftless Film Festival on Saturday, November 2nd at 7:30pm at the Mineral Point Opera House. There will be three short films from the Madison 48 Hour Film Project screening before the feature film.
To save their marriage, Ben and Lydia (Tim Higgins, Kara Mulrooney) risk it all and buy a farmstead in Manitowoc, Wisconsin (Making a Murderer.) Lydia is determined to transform the rotting house into a dream home and finally start a family, but Bens photographs reveal theyre not alone
Mysterious figures begin appearing in Bens photos and Lydia unearths grotesque artifacts in their house. An odd woman called Edith (Veronica Cartwright) is found to be living in a chicken coop on their property. Sheriff Roy (Mark Metcalf) tells the couple that Edith was abducted as a girl and gallery owner George (Barry Bostwick) warns Ben to stop taking pictures. Or else.
Bens curiosity leads to a chilling scene where his strobe light gun shows there is not one but dozens of ghostly people occupying their land. Days later a storm approaches and Edith becomes agitated. Ben and Lydia try to help but with a great flash, Lydia and Edith disappear. Can Ben evade Sheriff Roy long enough to unlock the secrets hidden in their field and save his wife?
