“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.
