The Last Ten Directed by David Higgs
If you've ever lived in an apartment building, you know the feeling.
You hear the muffled lives of your neighbors all around you, but having no frame of reference, you can never really know what is going on
behind those doors. Love, life, and perhaps even murder. This beautifully executed short film tells the story of the last ten minutes of a man's life with a style and grace that hints at the influence of Alfred Hitchcock. Think Rear Window only from the perspective of a dark claustrophobic stairwell.
"A nameless man arrives home one evening, he steps in from the pouring rain and contemplates the towering stairwell that separates him from his apartment. He begins his ascent, unaware of the impending disaster that awaits him at the top. He has ten minutes left to live. His wife has even less."
