An almost wordless study of social isolation, miscommunication and sexual identity, "Field Guide" follows a recently separated couple, Matt (Joe Haege) and Natalie (Briana Ledford), as they attempt a reconciliation. When the relationship fails a second time, each begin to explore their identities independently; Natalie through socially radical action and Matt through his sexuality. Filmed entirely by bicycle (all cast, crew and equipment was transported without the aid of cars), filmmakers Nick and Mary toured the film by bike as well from Vancouver, B.C. to Los Angeles, CA, screening the film in 9 different cities in Summer 2010. The tour totaled five weeks and over 1,300 miles.
