For good or bad, I consider myself a superfan of The AV Club - the music, tv, movie, media review arm of The Onion. So, when I saw that they were sponsoring a short film contest called Parameter, I was intrigued. Granted, I'm not a film maker but I can appreciate a good competition - especially when they come with rules like "If your film features any astronauts, all characters must be astronauts."

It's all a bit silly but go watch the intro video, have a good chuckle and if you've got a short film lying around, go submit it. Why not?
