THE PORCELAIN UNICORN: Rarely do we see a jewel like this. Legendary British film director Sir Ridley Scott launched a global film making contest for aspiring directors. It's titled "Tell It Your Way". There were over 600 entries.
The film could be no longer than three minutes, contain only 6 lines of narrative, and be a compelling story. The winner was "Porcelain Unicorn" from American director Keegan Wilcox. It's a story of the lifetimes of two people who are totally opposite, yet, very much the same - all told in less than three minutes. You can understand why it won.

Wonderful. When you think about how so many movies make you sit through 2-1/2 hours of explosions and effects to tell a story, and this one does it in under 3 minutes...
The only director who does full-length gems like this and tells a story is Tom McCarthy (The Station Agent, The Visitor). His movies run less than 1-1/2 hours and leave you thinking, "Wait! No! Don't leave! I want to spend more time with these people!"
