Dope Fiend (2023) an ADHD comedy | Film4 4Love Shorts

Dope Fiend from director and writer Rosanagh Griffiths (Cindy) co-writer Kiri Degon, and producer Lorine Plagnol (Area Boy, Dalton's Dream) is set in a medical waiting room; a surrealist sci-fi-comedy following one woman's journey to discover what life is like for her neurodiverse partner.
Part of the Film4-backed 4Love collection of shorts.
These ground-breaking short films all tackling the theme of ‘love’ are from deaf, disabled and neurodivergent filmmakers Ella Glendining and Jessi Gutch (Pyramid of Disunion); Tom Wentworth and Ewan Marshall (Battery); Rosanagh Griffiths (Dope Fiend); and Matilda Feyiṣayọ Ibini and Debbie Hannan (Mo ❤️ Kyra).
Film4 worked alongside 104 Films, one of the leading production companies currently working with deaf, disabled and neurodivergent talent in the UK, to commission the four short films based on treatments by filmmakers who all have a variety of backgrounds and experiences including theatre, TV and comedy.
The shorts all have a unique and diverse perspective on love, from old flames to new loves, surrealist comedy to apocalyptic drama. Watch in full here: • 4Love Short Films in F...

A clever representation of ADHD struggles (and superpowers). So happy to see neurodiversity at the forefront of a story.
