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.”

A tipsy young woman calls her ex over to kill a bug.
