Disenchanted with the corruption of society, vlogger Jakob X joins a Zen monastery where he has a spontaneous but disturbing out of body experience. Intrigued, he rebels against traditional Zen meditation practice to pursue the more esoteric dimension of astral travel where he discovers bizarre new worlds that shake the very ground of his being. Filmed almost entirely at the Great Vow Zen monastery in Oregon, THE VANISHING FIELD was mostly improvised on site with the monks playing themselves.
