NINETY-NINE PAGES (2005)
NINETY-NINE PAGES
Feature, Narrative, Experimental
US / 72 minutes
Written and Directed by James Byrne
Cinematography by James Byrne
An experimental comedy tracks the eccentric lives and loves of a filmmaker wannabe and the characters he creates out of thin air to be in his nonexistent movie. Intersecting subplots and looping time lines tell a whimsical tale of seven accidental actors in search of a movie. The films's black & white photography beautifully captures the winter daylight unique to the town it was shot in. Ninety-Nine Pages is a playful and thoughtful observation of the creative process and the lighter side of human emotion.
Director James Byrne is a graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago and has since become a fixture of the Minneapolis-St. Paul indie scene. Ninety-Nine Pages is his second feature film.
