THE LAST 3 MINUTES - PO CHAN (2010) *

Written and directed by American filmmaker Po Chan, who has been a returning judge on the FILMSshort competition for several years now, 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 showedcased the possibilities of the new class of video-capable DSLR cameras (in this case the Canon 5D). It may not be to everyone's tastes but the film is truly filmic. If you like The Last 3 Minutes by Po Chan be sure to rate it and share it!
