Delivering is a 1993 short film by American filmmaker Todd Field (using his first name William), while a fellow at the AFI Conservatory. ^[1] Adapted from the story of the same name by Andre Dubus, it is a dramatic piece that takes place on the day brothers Jimmy (Ian Bohen) and Chris (Justin Carmack) discover their mother has abandoned the family. ^[2]

The film is notable as it was the first time Field adapted Dubus' work. The next would be his Academy Award-nominated feature debut, In the Bedroom , based on Dubus' short story, Killings . Years after Field's graduation from the AFI, Delivering continued to be screened in the classroom.^{[ citation needed ]}
