Lepidopterist (2021)
A young scientist drives away from a lab with a large box in the back of her van. But what does it contain? What follows is a tense adventure story about man's relationship with nature, and the lengths we can go to to protect the things we love.
The film - made in association with Toothpix - was originally shot and edited within two days (and released under the name 'FIFTY/FIFTY') as our first entry into the Sci-Fi London 48hr Film Competition. However, we love the film and its characters so much that we decided to create an extended cut to submit to festivals - complete with extra scenes and a new name!
"Beautiful as expected. Not the ending I expected (in a good way). Gorgeous!"
(Judges' Reviews, Beeston Film Festival)
"Visually impressive, the film opens up many ideas and mysteries... the structure keeps you interested, along with the cinematography (which) gave you a sense of being there."
(Reviews from the Torch Theatre Young Film Ambassadors scheme, supported by BFI FAN,
Film Hub Wales & National Lottery UK)
