The untitled work featured in 1115 / 2:47: Pages was commissioned by Pages Books on Kensington for permanent exhibition on their second-story window. This dynamic stop-motion film documents beaulieu's visual improvisation in art and writing.

derek beaulieu's work is consistently praised as some of the most radical and challenging contemporary Canadian writing. Toro magazine recently wrote "using techniques drawn from graphic design, fine art and experimental writing, [beaulieu] vigorously tests the restrictions, conventions, and denotations of the letters of the alphabet."

Emma Rouleau is a sixteen-year-old animator who has apprenticed at local independent animation studio Fifteen Pound Pink Productions since 2007. This is her first stop-motion work.
