Prepare to Die, the new Tubi original from director Jose Montesinos and co-writer Jacob David Smith begins like many classic martial arts films such as The 18 Bronzemen, as a child watches his family killed in front of them.

"I will really change this time, Luli." It's always important to make the most of the time we have while we're still alive on this planet. We often learn this lesson the hard way. The Five Minutes is a short film made by filmmaker Shange Zhang, a student at USC's School of Cinematic Arts in L.A. It's an impressive film with a cool concept - there is a phone booth that can be used to call someone who has suddenly died and speak to them before their death for only five minutes.

Starring Zhan Wang as Yu Cheng, with Eon Song and Demi Ke.
