Ninety-Nine Pages - experimental narrative, 61 min.
Ninety-Nine Pages tracks the eccentric lives of a filmmaker wannabe and the characters he creates out of thin air to be in his nonexistent new movie. Intersecting subplots and looping time lines tell a whimsical tale of seven accidental characters in search of a movie. The film's black & white photography beautifully captures the winter light unique to the St. Paul and Minneapolis area.
