Our feature film, Butterfly Crush, based on Alan Clay's novel, Dance Sisters, is completed and now being submitted to festivals. Check out the trailer for the film.

Butterfly Crush is a modern age love story, set against the backdrop of the music industry, where the villains are a Kings Cross cult, into astrology and virtual dreaming, who peddle their wares online.

Moana and Eva are a song and dance duo which is up for the Australasian Song Awards and the duo must overcome the control of the cult, to win.

In her efforts to rescue Eva and keep Butterfly Crush in the Awards, Moana is lured into the cult by a young member, Matt. However as this relationship develops, Moana instead attracts him to leave, and also secures Eva’s participation in the Awards.

We were very lucky to discover Butterfly Crush, a young Sydney duo, who star in the movie and we cast the support roles in auditions in Brisbane and Sydney and you can find information on the cast, the development process and the production on this site.

The film attracted a lot of attention when it was screened in the Market at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2010. We expect it to be released in Australia and New Zealand towards the end of this year.
