Butterflies, The Award Winning Film about YouTube in LA
Stephen Keep Mills on Butterflies
"I had the PRIVILEGE of seeing Butterflies this afternoon. It's great! I felt so informed and out of it at the same time. The filmmakers really tapped into the present pulse of what appeals to a whole new generation of media/consumers.
It's really beautifully done and gives an incredibly full picture of these few individuals who put a personal face on the entire portrait of this movement. I loved the editing! And the whole piece had a nice drive and dynamic which kept the story in dramatic motion. It's a whole new world to me and I was really intrigued to get a handle on it. Ms Brym is at the head of this wave and I think this film will take the first time director far."

Butterflies in Cali and NYC withing 1 week
This is where you can see Butterflies, the Award Winning film about YouTube in the next week:
Butterflies at festivals and crazy schedule for me
September is here and Butterflies is ready:)
Sept 5th in the Czech Republic, Sept 11th and 13th and Temecula, California,
Sept 16th in New York City and Sept 26th-27th in Montana.
Now, anyone can see that it is absolutely impossible for me to make to all these fests.
Plus, I have to be in Virginia on the 23rd.
So, now what?
However, there is some good news! The Butterflies fanpage just reached its 600th fan!!!!
That is a great number! That is more than half on the way to the magical 1000 :)
Here is the link for all who don't know:
http://www.facebook.com/ButterfliesTheMovie
Also, Butterflies got into Philadelphia First Glance and will screen there October 25th at 5PM.
I love First Glance and it is absolutely amazing we can screen there !
And, we have Butterflies posters now and I am hoping to get some T-Shirts done and also update the Butterflies YouTube channel,
because now we need a banner and some cool graphics, since it got partnered:)
Link is here if you want to check it out:
http://www.youtube.com/butterfliesthemovie
We also need a liquor sponsor for our NY screening so we can do a little reception prior to the screening. So, if you have a bunch of spare wine bottles and can get them to me by Sept 16th, it would be awesome :)
My email:
filmester@brymproductions.com
Well, that is all the updates on the first film about YouTube, Butterflies!
I am slowly starting to think about our next project, looking for talent online, of course.
Lots of love everyone.

Butterflies Wins Its 1st Award!
First of all, let me thank all of you for your constant support and if you did make it to our World Premiere, I hope you enjoyed the film.
I would like to start by announcing that Butterflies walked out from AOF International Film Festival with The Alan J. Bailey AOF Award of Excellence for Documentary Filmmaking!!!!
We were also nominated for Best Social Commentary 2009, but this Award went to the amazing Victory of the Underdog. I honestly believe this film fully deserved it as all proceeds from this film go to animal shelters around the USA. Please, do check this film out if you get a chance.
But, back to Butterflies ☺
The Alan J. Bailey Award is given out at the end of the night and I have honestly not expected to be even considered for this honor.
When it was announced, that the award goes to me, Ester Brym for Butterflies, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
I had no speech prepared and I might have not thanked everyone I meant to.
I might have also not said everything that I would wanted to, but the important thing is that Butterflies has been recognized as truly great film.
Everybody who helped me and worked on the film shares this honor.
If you are interested in seeing Butterflies, we are going to screen in New York City in September and in Philadelphia in October 2009. There are other dates coming and all info is being posted on the film’s website at www.ButterfliesTheMovie.com .
Please, check in there on regular basis or sign up for the mailing list to keep informed.
You can also join the Facebook page here: www.facebook.com/ButterfliesTheMovie where all the upcoming events are listed and you will get invites to all:
Much love to all and looking forward seeing you at the next one,
Ester

Be there on July 27th, 2009 to see history in making! The online personalities are making it to the big screen and this will, without a doubt, be the end of entertainment as we know it.
You remember when television killed the radio star? Well, this is when Internet kills the TV star :)
No more fabricated characters in movies, no more perfect people that no one can compare to.
These are regular folks, that have it all, and you can see how they did it.
See the YouTube stars taking over the entertainment industry, come and watch the World Premiere of 1st feature documentary film about YouTubers, the award nominated BUTTERFLIES:

I am looking forward to meeting everyone each one of you, because this is also a big break in the independent film-making. Films no longer need a crew of hundreds to be presented to crowds and get some attention :)

Press Release
For Immediate Release
Lives of YouTube “Weblebrities” Chronicled in Upcoming Documentary
The increasingly popular world of new media has introduced online viewers across the world to a diverse group of individuals in cyberspace. YouTube.com has emerged as one of the leaders to catapult an Average Joe into an instant “Weblebrity” with the stroke of a computer key. Meet six folks in the feature documentary “Butterflies” who share the common goal of becoming internet sensations via YouTube.
Each real-life character in the documentary has made a presence online, with thousands of subscribers following their daily lives and video blogs. “Butterflies” is being presented by AOF International Film Festival, which has nominated the film for Best Social Commentary Award 2009. AOF gives independent filmmakers an opportunity to present their work in front of audiences in Pasadena, CA. Ester Brym, producer, director and editor of the documentary, is thrilled to showcase her work at 8:00 p.m., July 27, 2009 at the Regency Academy Theatre, 673 East Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, California.
“This opportunity to showcase YouTube on a big screen for the very first time will go down in history, because right here, right now, the traditional and new media are merging” Brym said. “Each character in the film represents each one of you. The girl next door, the talented musician, the up and coming actress or the regular guy, who always makes you laugh.”
Trailers for the film have begun circulating online and The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) has information listed about the project, characters and production. For more information about Brym and “Butterflies,” visit www.butterfliesthemovie.com or www.youtube.com/butterfliesthemovie.
