Summer Blockbuster Elevator Pitch: Due to a fluke of Dutch election law (a hold over for NYC’s earliest days) an idealistic lefty finds herself mayor of the city that never sleeps. But now everyone is out to get her! Worse on her first night at Gracie Mansion a tiny unexpected visitor shows her who really runs this town: the ants.
I wrote that while slowly getting heatstroke as I kept walking towards home and checking uber to see if it was any cheaper since my bus was cancelled. I’m in a cool room now and the little talking ants with tommy guns don’t seem as ominous anymore.
@futurebird Okay, we can't get ant actors for this (they don't, as a rule, join SAG-AFTRA), so our choices are a little constrained. Stop motion? Humans in ant costumes? Puppetry? I'm not sure what would be the best.
Now that is a really good idea. I, for one, could never get enough of high pitched tiny little NYC accents talking trash... and there would be a whole lot of that in this show.
Imagine: tiny Michel Cohen... only it's also a girl. So Michelle Cohen.
