I'd be the first to admit that I don't often enjoy short films, I find the format frequently frustrating and emotionally unengaging but when a short film is shot to the quality level of Tempus you can't help but enjoy the experience.
Only mere minutes long, Ian Clay's wonderfully captured film is aided by a great score from Jose Villalobos and some fantastic CGI and Make-Up work by Jason Shulman and Greg Cannom respectively and their great craft work elevates Tempus from the usual doldrums of cheap and quick-fire short films.
The story at the heart of Tempus is slight but none the less relatable and the vision of Jonathan Kite's aging man racing to the sick bed of his beloved wife is a vision that will not quickly leave you.
An impressive calling card for director Ian Clay and a nice way to spend a few minutes of your life, Tempus is a lovely little tale that's well worth film lovers time.
