Little Big Man, Ellis King, Dublin, Ireland, 2016
Little Big Man reimagines the contemporary myth of the Internet, recasting Mark Zuckerberg as a dissatisfied cowboy seeking love and fulfillment within a menagerie of Wild Western sets and characters. Unlucky in love—and preternaturally gifted with computers—Mark pairs up with a mysterious soothsayer known as The Master, who offers him counseling in exchange for a share in Mark’s new business venture. But as he begins to learn The Master can’t give him everything he wants, Mark discovers an unlikely, impassioned new self in the song-and-dance hootenany of Irving Berlin’s musical classic, “Annie Get Your Gun!”
