Chasing Moonlight

A bit on the simple side, but there's nothing wrong with that. A great little story from a fantastic film. My roommate had never seen "Field of Dreams" (shame on him) and I had to pause it and explain things a bit, so if you haven't seen the source you may not enjoy this as much.

Effective storytelling here, capturing just one player, one dream, from "Field Of Dreams."
Story here is of Archibald (Archie) Graham who barely had the whisper of a chance.
The edit does not waste time, presents the premise, then jumps back to Iowa.
Time constraints are telling in this edit. Other character's narratives surface without resolution.
Kinsalla's motivation, for example, is not explained, nor is the cornfield.
As expected, Adabisi's editing is excellent, and he has done well with his material.

This short didn’t do much for me. I suppose I’ve never been a big fan of Field of Dreams, I’m not super into baseball or Kevin Costner. This was a nice way to highlight a small, self contained little plot (have to love Burt Lancaster). Unfortunately, due to the source material, it’s obvious that this was part of a larger plot. Not a whole lot of momentum here, but there’s nothing the editor could do about that.

Very charming little tale (even for someone who does not care about baseball at all, like me !)
There's a beginning, a middle and an ending, there is a bit of emotion. In such a short time, it's pretty amazing. Editing is very good.
Well done.

A common concept in time travel stories is the prospect of meeting famous historical figures or personal heroes. But history often boils down the sum total of these individuals to single sentence synopses. Single achievements remembered out of entire lifetimes. Perhaps the real benefit of such interactions wouldn’t be the chance to witness what history already recorded – but the opportunity to see what was not. The real human drama, the day to day heroism that’s often lost amidst the bullet points.
