I got a very nice message from writer/director Ian Clay asking me to review his short film TEMPUS . Ian mentioned that shorts are rarely seen and he's right . They're normally under-seen and are usually labours of love . If someone sends me a polite message I'll respond by giving an honest review
Ian mentioned the technical boys had a lot of previous experience including make-up artist Greg Cannom who is the recipient of three Oscars ! To be honest there's not a lot of narrative but being just under four minutes long including credits there doesn't need to be . The premise is man runs towards shack where his wife lies dying and it's the visual journey rather than the journey itself that is the main focus . Despite having a number of award winning artists working behind the scenes it was cinematographer Ben Griffin working on his second project . The major breath taking moment is when the protagonist reaches the shack

Having been contacted personally to watch and review Tempus, I was all for seeing it as it looked really interesting both conceptually and how it was described. After getting around to see it, it turned out to be a beautiful and incredibly well-executed short film.
One of Tempus' best assets is how fantastic it looks, leaving one transfixed to the screen until the end and even well beyond. It's gorgeously photographed courtesy of Ben Griffin, some of the shots are to die for, it is very cleverly and moodily lit with great attention to atmosphere and subtlety and the make-up and visual effects from Greg Cannom and Jason Schulman have a clear sense of professionalism (prior experience also shines through). The energy-pulsating but also whimsically poetic and hauntingly beautiful music from Jose Villalobos complements the short brilliantly, adding so much and enhancing and never distracting.
The story is, true, very slight, but the hynoptically surreal but also incredibly poetic atmosphere, the vast emotional impact and subtle nuances make one truly transfixed, it's a very relatable story dealt with in a poignant way. Tempus is superbly directed by Ian Clay, and is beautifully acted with such controlled nuance- without even saying a word- by Ann Benson and Jonathan Kite, their expressions speaking volumes.
With Tempus, there is very little to criticise. It maybe could have been two or three minutes longer so that the ending felt less rushed and with less of an 'over-too-soon' feel, but these are more personal preferences than objective criticisms.
Otherwise, this is one incredibly well-done short film and recommended highly. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Once I finished watching this short, only one word came into my mind: Art. I really don't have anything negative to say about this film. It never hurts to express love by the means of art. And here everyone involved pulled it off perfectly. From the cinematic tone, to the visuals and the score. Its very hard to get a true vibe of what a director can accomplish with short films, this goes to a cast and everyone involved.(Compared to a full featured film) But this was neatly done and touching. So congratulations to everyone involved. My name is Dusty Webb and I rate and review films. I have seen all kinds of films, really. I recommend this video to loving couples, of all ages. You may want to use it as a pass-time with a lover, or a future one at that.
Tempus is a great short film with a very well structured story and dazzling performances from both cast members. There is a beautiful message to this film that would probably have different meanings to many people, sort of like a poem, because short films like this truly is a type of poetry, the way I look at it is that love holds no bounds, that someone that we truly care for will always be the first thing on our agenda, nothing comes before them. One thing I think this film needed was to be longer, not significantly, just a few extra minutes would have been great, I felt like the movie ended just as its fulfilling message was truly capturing my heart and entering my soul, but then it finishes too fast, I felt uplifted, and then it was gone before I knew it, it easily could have been eight minutes, and sadly wastes potential at a mere four. The performances in this movie are fantastic and perfectly convey the tone and message with pure grace and passion, Jonathan Kite and Ann Benson deserve huge praise for their terrific dedication to these roles, they never speak, they don't need to, their body language, facial expressions and eyes says it all, I've seen Kite in 2 Broke Girls on several occasions, but never expected this level of depth to him as an actor. Tempus has beautiful cinematography and a stunning cast, certainly worth the watch for anyone looking for a good short film.

"Tempus" is a contemplation and examination of time's passage, created with visual flair while possessing a poetic soul that produces an uncanny effect. Director Ian Clay displays a sensitive touch, maturity, and a prowess for digital filmmaking. While Clay demonstrates his technical virtuosity, Jason Shulman's striking visual effects and Ben Griffin's cinematography seamlessly blends together setting the stage for this unique meditation on mortality. Additionally, Jose Villalobos's affecting musical score adds a dimension of delicacy and grace to the proceedings. Spellbinding and expertly crafted, a lovely elegy to both youth and age.
