After nearly three months of limited contact with other people, we’re all a little thirsty these days. Ever the comedic artiste, Maya Rudolph voices these desires with a silly flair and grounded humanity as a blood-lusting mosquito in “Thirsty,” a delightful short film from rising filmmaker Nicole Delaney. “Thirsty” also stars Jay Ellis as The Young Man, who captures the mosquito’s eyes and nose with his chiseled jawline and post-basketball game glow. “Thirsty” recently premiered on Fxx as part of the channel’s new Cake series, a showcase of inventive bite-sized content.
The film is shot partly from the mosquito’s point of view, the camera circling Ellis and underscored by an excitable buzzing. (Cinematographer John Wakayama Carey deserves a shout-out for the effective technique never feeling distracting or overdone.) Besides being directed by Delaney, who co-wrote the short with Sonya Goddy, these distinctive shots from the mosquito...
