WHITE PAGES: A Backrooms Inspired Short Film.
Project Overview
WHITE PAGES
In 2087, the story of White Pages follows Burwell, an ex-marine biologist, as he is escorted down a giant hole containing different worlds on multiple levels. The hole was created by people who once lived on Earth but are now dead. It first appeared as a regular crater sighting in Antarctica, but then grew into something huge and impossible to miss. Burwell explores rooms that hold deep meaning for the people who used to inhabit it, their spirits haunting each room and creating new ones turning it almost into an infinite loop. He encounters creatures that resemble people, their characteristics, or their emotions. Some of the entities are even objects that appear to be alive.

Burwell hails from a middle-class family in Ohio and is married with a daughter. Although he grew up on a farm where his family hoped he would study zoology to aid the family business, he has been drawn to the ocean creatures and ideas since childhood. A brilliant scientist and great cook, he earned his degree from Middle City College and dedicated his career to marine biology research, often prioritizing his work over his family. While his scientific mind is sharp, his marriage has suffered as a result of his love for science.

"People say, that when a person dies they lose all of what they left behind, but maybe that's not all the case. Because this place. what you see, what you feel, it's all apart of what they felt. the people of the dead. they exist but in their own markings on the world. a root into the ground that tells millions of past lives from one another."
"Mary, Everytime I close my eyes in this place I feel every single emotion at once, it's pretty hard to get any rest over here and I need an escape route right now!"
(Burwell Encounters a Dog) Burwell: (Comforting) Hey there buddy, what's got you in this place? You're just the meanest little pet aren't you."
Voice Actor
Needed: Serious tone, Often very directive or authoritative, Emotionally intelligent.
Mary Linkins, an ex-marine biologist much like Burwell, is an SDOS Department Commander of the 2087 Batch. Every year SDOS (Supernatural Division Of Science) deploys a new commander and Mary was one of the first to be deployed toward the Deadhole upon its first expansion, as well as being the best in her group at discovering various entities within the hole, which prompted her promotion to commander for the 2087 group.
Mary has focused on the project ever since; in the meantime she abandoned her family in order to protect her role.

"Burwell? Burwell do you copy? It's important you give me a read here we need to make sure you're okay."
"When you head inside, Make sure you have all your supplies ready and try not to touch anything of the floor. Just take the picture, do your part and then get out. Discover as much as you can no questions asked."
(Nostalgic) "You know, when I was a little girl we'd always love to ride bikes on the street back then, sure at the time it was dangerous, but it was always so exciting to feel and see people's reactions, how they were so..angry, or concerned..it felt like at the time someone really cared."
