According to the Chicago Tribune, MY LITTLE RED/ GREEN COAT "follows Jessie, a Harlem-based New Yorker, who receives a sudden text message to meet an old love interest as-soon-as-possible in Brooklyn. She's determined to make it cross-city, but she's also indecisive. And so a series of clicks from the online viewer help Jessie decide what coat to wear, where to sit on the train, how to interact with an Uber driver, among other surprise encounters."
The media used to create the film comes from tech company Interlude. The video originally debuted at this year's New York Musical Theatre Festival as part of NEW MUSICALS, NEW MEDIA.
