Bernadette Van-Huy
The ADHD Muses, 2024
68 min.
With Tessa Gourin and Marika Thunder

In the presence of the artist Bernadette Van-Huy, New York.

While experiencing writer's block in developing this film, and waiting for inspiration to strike, it hit the filmmaker that all of the friends she intended to shoot, her so-called muses, had ADHD. Drawing a connection between her muses - charismatic centers of attention - and the generalized assault on our attention centers, Van-Huy uses ADHD as a fake theme around which to engage her muse-friends in interviews and in improvised activities based on these conversations, to make what she calls an "Action Documentary."
