Synopsis

The Muse is a cross-cultural, cross-generational story about an unlikely relationship between a young Chinese fine-art photographer, Ting Ting Chen, and her muse and best friend, 74-year-old Robert Tilley. This short film celebrates art while challenging the preconceptions we bring to relationships between older men and younger women, to the immigrant contribution to our culture, and to the nature of memory.
