Farewell Happy Fields (2017)

Farewell Happy Fields is a reflexive documentary following a young filmmaker named Kyle William McDonnell, who while recovering from depression, challenges acclaimed author Fiona Wright to express her experience with anorexia through the performance of one of her poems. As the pressure of the production takes its toll however, devastating memories are relived which threaten to throw the entire film into disarray. A documentary of its own making, Farewell Happy Fields breaks down the barrier between art and artist, capturing the behind-the-scenes interviews and immensely private confessions of Kyle, Fiona and the crew, as the production quietly derails.
