Still Life is one of six finalist competing for the grand prize the National Festival Tour CINEMA ME Short Film Competition. The contest asked non-professional filmmakers to give their take on Asian American film in under five minutes. Here’s a quick synopsis of the film:

A cute, partly animated drama about a young boy with a great imagination and a father with high expectations. In Still Life the fact that the boy would rather draw than do math does not please his father very much. Though the boy is punished for this, he does not give up his dream.
