Thirsty

We all know that Maya Rudolph has a lot of range when it comes to her acting, but did we think she could play a convincing mosquito? I did not—until I watched Nicole Delaney’s THIRSTY. Rudolph plays a mosquito who is in love with the main character of the short (a human) and follows him around as he lives his life. It’s comedic in tone but as you watch you realize how clever Nicole Delaney and Sonya Goddy’s writing is. The mosquito is someone we’ve all been in our relationships and when the sad ending comes, you feel it in your heart!
