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.
