Made in just two days for the 2008 Dallas 48-Hour Film Project, "Pages" is our first attempt at delivering pure dramatic entertainment without any messages.
To be clear, to us we have two goals: keep people entertained, and present a message. In some of our latest films, the 'messages' get pushed too hard; so this movie is a step back to our basic abilities to entertain, agenda-free. There's no deep philosophy here, just a few things that are open to interpretation for fun.
While there's not much to say about the story- at least, not without giving anything away- it's a bit of a mix between Memento (hadn't seen it when I shot this), The Bourne Identity, and Cover's Story.
I flew into Dallas after class one day to shoot this, and flew back to class a few hours before the contest ended. It was, to say the least, a very hectic weekend. The copy you're seeing is the draft I was sent while it was being edited. I wish I had a more polished copy (a few bits of unsynced audio here and there) but seeing as I live in a different city, I can't access the original copy. This is also why the credits are separate from the film.
Anyhow, I already know most of the issues with this (audio pops/glitchy) but I'm putting it up for the sake of entertainment. Enjoy!

I enjoyed this
not just momento/bourne but also a bit of more modern quantum leap.
It left me feeling i had just watched a teaser/pilot wanting more.
Would make a great TV series.
