Justin Lin's latest film, Last Days , is based on the true story of John Allen Chau , a Christian missionary who attempted to make contact with the Sentinelese , an isolated tribe living on an island in the Indian Ocean .

It's a fascinating story exploring one young man’s desire for connection and a meditative exploration of the relationship between father and son.

Last Days merges Chau ’s early experiences on intimate, character-driven indie films with his ability to create powerful visuals from unique global settings.

Lin ended up filming for 38 days , cramming in shoots across Thailand , the UK , Iceland , India , and central California .

Lin says working on Last Days has made him a better filmmaker, but a better father.
