“The Perfect Time” by independent filmmaker Jason Musante Klein is the winner of the 2009 
Stella Artois Short Film Project. Selected by a celebrity-filled panel of judges that included actors Kevin Spacey whose Triggerstreet.com partnered with Stella Artois for the competition, Laurence Fishburne, Sacha Baron Cohen, actress Judi Dench and songwriter James Blunt, “The Perfect Time” is a darkly beautiful story of a man determined to complete the construction of a machine that will allow him to live in his favorite memory … forever.
Announced in January at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, the Stella Artois Short Film Project invited filmmakers to submit entries to TriggerStreet.com. Films could be no longer than 10 minutes and were challenged to exemplify the theme of Sacrifice and/or Perfection. Ten finalists were selected by TriggerStreet.com and the panel of judges determined the winning film.
“‘The Perfect Time’ demonstrated Mr. Klein’s talents and the story resonated with our panel of judges,” said Kevin Spacey, Academy Award-winning actor and TriggerStreet.com co-founder. “Anyone in the entertainment industry understands how challenging it is to get a break and we’ve enjoyed creating an opportunity for independent filmmakers to demonstrate their creative abilities.”
Kevin Spacey, Dana Brunetti and Stella Artois awarded Klein, a graduate of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, the $50,000 prize at a private reception in New York on November 1. Klein’s “The Perfect Time” will potentially receive additional exposure at various independent film festivals throughout the year.
