While experiencing writer’s block in developing this film, and waiting for inspiration to strike, it hit Bernadette Van-Huy 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.”
Bernadette Van-Huy (*1970 in New York City, lives in Hudson, NY) is co-founder of the artist group Bernadette Corporation, which has been active since 1994. Since 2018, she has also been working as a solo artist, mainly as an author, illustrator, and filmmaker.
Admission is free, no registration required.
