Indie flick inspired by Weiner antics

Carlos Danger is ready for his closeup.

The sext-capades of disgraced ex-congressman and one-time mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner has inspired a Queens filmmaker’s black comedy about a legislator with lurid cell phone habits.

Vilan Trub needed to look no further than across the street, where Weiner (bottom inset) was living when the sexting scandal hit the headlines.

“It was a media circus over here, and it definitely stuck in my mind,” Trub, 31, told the Daily News.

His take on the Weiner scandal morphed into “The Dirty Kind,” which was filmed in Forest Hills in nine days on a razor-thin $5,000 budget.

The film revolves around Lee Ziegler, a married Queens politician who ends up in the crosshairs of a private investigator after one of the women he sends sexually explicit pictures to disappears. The movie is set for a limited run in Los Angeles next week and will soon be available on DVD and digital platforms.

Trub had plenty of material to draw on from the promiscuous pol, 54, whose love of sexting torpedoed his career and landed him in jail.

Trub said Paul Kelly (top inset), who plays Ziegler, got the dark humor right away.

“Whenever you say ‘politician sending texts,’ you immediately know who it’s referencing,” Trub said. “There were a lot of half-smiles and laughs, and [Kelly] just knew how to play it.”

Some scenes were filmed along Queens Blvd. by the Midway Theater, which screened the movie in August.

“It was very meta having my film play in the movie theater I went to growing up,” he said.
