MAYFIELD
A short film written and directed by Zach Daulton
"'Mayfield' is one of those movies we would like to put in our very special category of "must watch shorts in a lifetime” because all of the things this short presents in less than twenty minutes is a perfect mix of visual poetry, touching soundtrack, impeccable editing and divine acting." - Short Stop International Film Festival
- ABOUT THE FILM -
James Mayfield has spent the last decade performing a one man show from his youth in an attempt to trigger memories that are very important to him. However things take a turn when he is pushed into closing his show with a little help from some lost memories. Mayfield has to find the limit of how many times he can relive a moment before his memory changes.
"The majority of this film was shot in Wilmington, OH and New Vienna, OH. We rented the historical Murphy Theatre in downtown Wilmington as our main setting and the rest was shot in New Vienna at John Riley's house. John is the actor that plays James Mayfield in this film, but he did much more than that. John helped build all the sets in his garage and really took ownership of his character. We worked many weeks together building and designing sets, rewriting lines for his character, and finding props. I truly could not have done this without John, and was excited to see him invest in the character as much as he did." - Zach Daulton, Director

Download the original score written by Roland Bingaman for the short film, Mayfield. Five tracks available for instant download after purchase.
I worked closely with Roland for months on the score for Mayfield. Once we nailed down the style and mood of the film, Roland really made this thing his own and did a fantastic job. He brought the film to life in a way I didn't know was possible. I can't wait to work with him again in the future. - Zach Daulton, Director
