Analyzing Campaign Videos: David Chiu's 'Cityball'

In their latest move to win the hearts and minds of San Franciscans with mild pop culture references (See also: Chiubacca), Team Chiu has put together a trailer for "Cityball". Which is a fictitious movie that is exactly like Moneyball except not in Oakland and not about baseball. (And not starring Brad Pitt.)

Swapping out the MLB boys club for San Francisco government works surprisingly well here, actually. Especially because Chiu's writing team didn't even need to touch the Sorkin script to fit the new subject matter. ("We need to do better with the money we have!")

Sadly, the whole thing still ends with a soup of campaign buzzwords and not a single chair is thrown a Supervisor's meeting.
