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:

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:

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 :)

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 is nominated by AOF for Best Social Commentary Award 2009

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.
