Alison Brie Returns to Her College Nudist Days in ‘Somebody I Used To Know’
Thirsty isn’t like any other rom-com you’ve seen before. First, it’s only 12 minutes. But it’s also about a mosquito who falls in love with a man after drinking his blood.
The Nicole Delaney-directed short, which was released last year as part of FX’s Cake, follows what happens after a bloodthirsty insect (voiced by Maya Rudolph) sets her sights on a newly-single man who’s just gone through a breakup (Jay Ellis). The film turns to the mosquito’s point of view to explore the unconventional story and relationship, using humor and romance to tell both of its subjects’ stories.
In an interview with Decider earlier this year, Delaney said most people envisioned her film as an animated short when she first pitched it, but she was set on live action. “Because Cake was making such unique stories, they interested me and didn’t really ask how I was going to execute it,” she said. “I felt so lucky that I could find producers who wanted to give me money to make such a bizarre story and having the confidence in me that I could pull it off.”
