These guys had the most public votes and didn't spend a dime on it!

And I can see why! So damn funny in a primeval way.

Fancy an audience of a million next week?

There’s just under a month to go until Virgin Media Shorts closes its doors for entries and our BFI curators are enjoying the abundance of terrific shorts to the site. It’s going to be a hotly contested shortlist this year.

But while the competition is still in full swing, how do you fancy getting your film an audience of a million next week?

We’ve been given a prime slot on virginmedia.com to show off Shorts and we’re offering one of you the chance to get your film out there. With over a million unique users every day, this is a brilliant chance to create some buzz about your film. We’ll also interview you so everyone knows abut the blood, sweat and tears that went into your short.

Just get your film uploaded by next Friday and we’ll choose one short to take pride of place on the Virgin Media homepage shortly. Find out more here.

If you’re not quite ready to upload your entry yet, we love hearing how you’re getting on with everything from perfect production to casting crises. Drop us a line @VMShorts – we promise we’ll tweet back - and who knows, it could be the start of a beautiful filmic friendship.

I've just finished making another silly action comedy film that I thought you may be interested in, especially TheyCallMeMrGlass, who hopefully will see this post.

Let me know what you think. Pretty much everything was improvised.
