Sometimes movies leave an audience with a few unanswered questions. Sometimes this is due to making the screenplay more efficient (“trimming the narrative fat”, as it were), sometimes it’s done to intentionally make things more mysterious, and sometimes it’s just an oversight. Today we look at some of the biggest unanswered questions from the Hedges Pictures Cinematic Universe….Some of which, I’m here to tell you, will be touched on or totally answered in DAY OF THE HEDGES.
[WARNING: Possible SPOILERS ahead if you haven’t seen all the HP movies.]

08. What happened to Taylor? (No Mutual Friends)
After causing havoc at a birthday party, Taylor takes off suddenly only to be heard as a distant voice on an answering machine. Is he gone for good or are house parties still in danger? What is he really after, anyway? Watch NMF for clues: https://vimeo.com/13950157 |

07. What does Travis mean “Death is only the beginning”? (Ballet for Children-Unauthorized 3)
After being framed for multiple murders, Elliot turns the tables on his former co-star and hits Travis over the head with a shoe. Before his final passing, Travis utters “Death is only the beginning.”… This question actually has a partial answer. We know from things talked about in DANCE WORLD REVELATIONS that somewhere between BFCU3 and DWR Travis sold his soul to the evil fairy Carabosse in exchange for magical powers. He pops up at the end of DWR only to be seemingly defeated once again. Watch BFCU3 for the original cryptic message: https://vimeo.com/8624879

06. Where did the Mistress/Scientist/Carpenter come from - and where did they go? (The Incident with The Magician)
We know that Patrick’s city has a lot of masked heroes and villains running around, but the only origin story we know of is Patrick’s. We know how things turned around for him in the end too (a new origin story). But since we only see the others in brief glances, their origins and ultimate fates are unknown. Watch the movie again to form your own theories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJTG0cFuk9Q&feature=youtu.be

05. Who is that priest dude and what’s his deal? (Requiems)
He appears in an instant and vanishes like a stain of breath upon a mirror. His motives are ambiguous and, depending on how you view REQUIEMS, he may not even exist at all. Assuming that he does, what could be his purpose? Assuming that he doesn’t, who can see him and why? Re-watch the whole series and see if you can piece his motives together: http://www.hedgespictures.com/requiems.html |

04. How does Charles have “relations” with Coppelia? (The Lady is a Doll)
Charles finally finds a girl that he can talk to - but, as a doll, she doesn’t have much to say in return. As the movie draws to a close, we know that the two have spent some “quality time” together. What we don’t know is exactly how…well…that works, since it raises a number of questions. Form your own opinions after watching the movie: https://vimeo.com/12216006 |

03. Did Lauren and Austin stay together and are they trapped? (Dance World Revelations)
Billy made a tremendous sacrifice when he sealed the doorway to the Dance World - exiling himself in our dimension and leaving Lauren and Austin together in the Dance World. We see what happens to Billy after this, but the fate of Lauren and Austin’s troubled relationship in a dimension that is completely alien to them is left a mystery. Are they trapped? It certainly seems like it - but the Dance World is a place full of magic and adventure, so who can ever say for sure? Relieve that adventure here: https://vimeo.com/31165050

02. Who is Dani’s roommate (Requiems)
REQUIEMS left a number of unanswered questions each episode, but one of the more puzzling is the identity of Dani’s roommate. Only a few hints are given in the course of the series and in the final episode it is revealed that he was discharged sometime before Dani’s final meeting with Dr. Jameson. Re-watch the hospital scenes of the series to mine them for clues: http://www.hedgespictures.com/requiems.html

01. What’s in Marty’s red bag? (The Taylor Swift Stalker)
Marty endures an arduous journey across 4 states to bring Taylor Swift the gift of a red bag - the contents of which are never revealed, not even when Marty is directly asked by his brother, Erwin. In that scene he responds only with, “Hope.” The bag is left discarded in Nashville after a fight with Erwin and is only briefly mentioned in the sequel. See if you can figure it out by re-watching the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQmyZ1ZpwsQ
