The wife of former Donald Trump Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Louise Linton, is making her directorial debut, and her next film just highlights how truly disconnected from the world she is. Linton wrote, directed, produced and starred in the new film I you madness and plays the opposite of gossip Girlit’s Ed Westwick. Her character in the film, Catherine Black, is a “materialistic, narcissistic and self-centered” hedge fund manager – at least, that’s how Linton describes her. The trailer for I you madness was shared this week in the middle of, well, the madness that followed on Wall Street; that was the perfect time to make an extremely deaf entrance to Hollywood.

“My name is Catherine Black. You may think that I am a materialistic, narcissistic and self-centered misanthrope. I don’t deny it. I am a hedge fund manager. I am addicted to fashion, accumulation of money, exercise and sex. My life is incredible, ”says Linton at the beginning of the trailer.
Her husband, himself a former hedge fund manager, told The New York Times: “I watched Louise create this film from the first draft to the final edition. I am proud of your determination, tenacity and spirit. The film is a lot of fun and a lot of fun. ”Before his time in the Trump administration, he worked as a banker for Goldman Sachs and a producer of Hollywood films.

During Linton’s time in Washington, she fell into bad shape after posted a photo on Instagram showing her leaving a government plane with Mnuchin and Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell. According to Vanity Fair, his post included hashtags that showcased his seemingly luxurious lifestyle, “#hermes, #valentino, #roulandmouret, #tomfordsunnies”.
The New York Times reporter, who has seen the film, described it as a “sort of cinematic middle finger for haters”.
“There will be people who love and people who hate,” Linton told the channel. “But I don’t care what people say. I am proud of my little film. It’s a silly potpourri. “
