THE LAST 3 MINUTES - PO CHAN (2010) *

Written and directed by American filmmaker Po Chan, a returning judge on the FILMSshort competition, The Last 3 Minutes is an unashamedly tear-jerking flashback through a dying man's life. With Hollywood cinematographer Shane Hurlbut behind the camera, every shot is lovingly crafted and there are some beautiful American landscapes. Shot in 2010, Chan and Hurlbut also showcased the possibilities of the new class of video-capable DSLR cameras (ie the Canon 5D). It may not be to everyone's tastes but the film is truly filmic.
