Here's an fun little short film for you to watch called 3 Minutes. This film takes a direction I didn't expect. It doesn't quite make sense, but the lightsaber fight scene was choreographed pretty well. Yes, I said lightsabers.

Here's a note from the director Ross Ching:

I liked the idea of this short story called “The Most Dangerous Game” so I adapted it back when I was in film school, but when I made it back then I didn’t have many people to help me make it so it didn’t turn out too great. After being in the industry and living in La for a few years now, I got a chance to make new friends and really take advantage of their professional talents.

The producers of the piece, George Wang and Don Le were in talks with Harry Shum Jr. to collaborate on something when I met them.

Anyone who has been to Los Angeles knows that we have traffic problems. There are lots and lots of cars driving around this big city. San Diego State University’s film graduate Ross Ching decided to make a short film showing Los Angeles minus the cars. I live in Los Angeles. I drive in Los Angeles. I think about traffic a lot in Los Angeles. A few months ago, I discovered Matt Logue’s Empty La photographs. I didn’t think much about it at the time, but every time I was stuck in rush hour all-hour traffic, I found myself thinking, “What if tomorrow everyone’s car disappeared.” What would that scene look like? How would people react? How quickly would the atmosphere rebound from centuries of fossil fuel emissions? So I took Matt Logue’s still photography concept and applied it to something that I do best — time lapse.
