"Shot in South Wales working with local and international collaborators, Muse is a long short, shot on HD, with an original score from local composer Adam Harvey and edited by Polish collaborator Agnieszka Glinska. 
A narrative convolution about two writers observing each other in their acts of creation, writing. Then came a change, the introduction of the female character, the muse, and the story became alive to the moment. 
This shaped into MUSE, an intimate, epic short film, bursting with music and static wide angle shots, drones and the squeals of creation.
The film conjures a world of mesmerizing Welsh valleys, slugs, kisses, foreign accents, failures, jealousy, hopes, Soviets and battle tanks to painting original cinematic landscape, one finally fluttering out of existence to leave its audience, like Ludmilla, strangely altered"
Massimo Salvato, producer & director of MUSE

"MUSE, a 20 minutes hypnotic, sinister, psycho-sexual film follows one womans compulsion to harness inspiration whatever the cost.
Ludmilla is a force of nature driven on a voyage of discovery by the ghost of her grandfather as she seduces two writers to secrete the essence of their genius, which she taps and distills to create a voice that manifests in the novel, Muse.
Gavin Irvine, writer of the screenplay of MUSE"

"...Like Mullholland Drive I am not sure I fully understood the journey but I loved and was intrigued by the journey. I think it is essentially a simple idea about the interaction and rather selfish nature of creativity wrapped in a beautiful convolution. Really loved it...!"
Christopher Morris, BAFTA Award winning documentary filmmaker, on MUSE
