Wildboy
Ten Years of Adventure TherapyNZ, 2024, 92 min, English
Regie: Toby Schmutzler

ADHD powered. Adventure driven.
Wildboy follows young Brando, who struggles with ADHD, as he embarks on extraordinary adventures to escape societal norms and find purpose. At 18, he sets out to walk New Zealand’s coastline, and over the next decade, he tackles epic feats: skiing across Greenland, kayaking around Vancouver Island, and cycling across the Australian Outback.
Each adventure is a test of endurance, self-discovery, and resilience. Along the way, Brando reflects on mental health, identity, and purpose, becoming an ambassador for ADHD. The film captures his physical challenges and the personal growth that unfolds in the most remote, untamed corners of the world.
