I CAN HAZ BODEGA?

I.C. NYC Episode 5 is our homage to all the nature shows we’ve watched on PBS. I knew I wanted to hear a British voice as the narrator. A Richard Attenborough type. Authoritive. Declarative? Englishitive. This is where my buddy Ash stepped in. He even read the script without seeing any of the images beforehand.

Big shouts to Robbie from UnKut who I asked to read the script prior to Ash. Robbie’s Aussie British accent and incredible speed at speaking (easily 100 words per minute) means we’ll need to use him for a different I.C. nature doc. Maybe the ghetto hummingbird?

‘Bodega Cats’ was inspired by a Flickr group of the same name which posts pictures of bodega cats throughout NYC. Our intrepid intern Donna Ostrowsky did most of the shooting and sundry legwork to capture these images. The film is a slight departure from typical I.C.s movies but I still think you will enjoy it.

    I’ll rub your furry underbelly… In a brotherly way, of course. Very nice. This could get some play among the cat men and women too. Voiceover was deadpan inspired.

    I pray in pantheist/atheist fashion the ICs will someday do the West Indian Day Parade.
