Nintendo wants you to make a short film

Nintendo is running a little contest where the grand prize winner is given $10,000 (imagine all the Wii Points you could buy with that!). How do you win said huge sum of money?

Entries should be three-to-five minutes long and can be mailed in directly on a CD or DVD before June 6th. Of course, Nintendo is encouraging you include the Wii in some manner.
