Seattle Times
For nearly a decade, Seattle Times readers have responded to the Three-Minute Masterpiece digital-film contest with short films of romance, intrigue and suspense. This year, they made things a little harder on would-be auteurs: filmmakers were required to use mobile phones instead of camcorders. Contest winners, chosen by judges from The Seattle Times and Seattle International Film Festival, can be viewed at the above link. Check out the 11 winning films on the big-screen at a free public viewing at 11:00 am on May 31, at SIFF Cinema.
