AstroNots (Comedy / Sci-Fi) | Watch the full Short

AstroNots is a short comedy about two astronauts about to take off on a vital mission to Mars. We open with a montage showing just how serious, how crucial this mission to Mars is. As the two astronauts sit in the cockpit awaiting launch, Major Tom Collins realizes his co-pilot, Abe, is nowhere near as qualified as he should be. Abe has inextricably fumbled his way through training and ended up in the most important seat in the universe. The two grapple with the consequences of taking off anyway, or delaying their crucial mission.

To me the greatest comedy lay in the absurdity of the situation taking place in the seriousness of the setting. So I wanted the audience to recognise this film as a serious space exploration film. We used films like Apollo 11 as our reference here. We lent into tropes like the bar and news report sequence at the beginning of the film to set this serious tone. But I wanted to pull the rug out from under the audience to elicit a big reaction." #FilmShortage #ComedyShortFilm #MissionToMars FILM SHORTAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA Instagram: https://instagram.com/filmshortage Twitter: https://twitter.com/filmshortage Facebook: https://facebook.com/filmshortage Website: https://filmshortage.com Film Shortage is home to the next generation of filmmakers, premiering some of the best and diverse short films online
