The Last Fifteen Minutes (2026)

The Last Fifteen Minutes is a short film and marionette musical about the queer residents of an apartment building in Koreatown, Los Angeles choosing to have dinner together before they are eaten by a rampaging kaiju. It is a story about neighbors living ordinary lives and making ordinary decisions in extraordinary (kaiju-infested) times.

The Last Fifteen Minutes is written, directed and production designed by Shing Yin Khor, with music by Jay Ackley. It features meticulously hand-built sets and live puppetry with wood-carved marionettes voiced by Matt Mercer, Tricia Fukuhara, and Erika Ishii.
