There exists a CNBC documentary(?) piece I saw mentioned somewhere
I think there is one more cable news piece on Field I saw mentioned in one of the articles I read

Details about co-founder Evan Wallace

Here are two sentences I wrote about Evan Wallace based on mentions in articles primarily about Field. Wallace does not seem(?) to have enough significant press specifically about him to merit an article of his own (though someone should double check that), and they were too awkward to make sense embedded in Field's main space article, so in the meantime, I'm leaving these here — Shrinkydinks (talk) 22:39, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In 2011, Wallace had built a demo of WebGL (a tool for rendering graphics in a web browser) that Wired called, "one of the more impressive WebGL demos we've seen."^[1]^[2] At Pixar, Wallace had wrote an algorithm to render a ball bobbing in a 3D pool.^[3]
