The Last Days of Jonathan Perlo

I had the opportunity to screen "The Last Days of Jonathan Perlo," a short documentary, at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. I thought it was awesome, a true testament to the lives of Scott Plank and Jonathn Perlo. The film was emotionally moving, dark and somehow, still uplifting. it's obvious that Scott and Jonathan both care very deeply for each other. I wish the filmmakers had delved deeper into Jonathan's criminal history, I thought it was a little confusing at times.

Not knowing a lot about Scott PLank, I was shocked by the ending of the film. I won't tell you what happens but it is emotionally wrenching. I can't wait to see this picture of Sundance film Channel so that I can take it all in again.

This is a great choice and a testament to Sundance and what the festival is here for, to promote independent films which are made by independent filmmakers.
