Lives of YouTube “Weblebrities” Chronicled in Upcoming Documentary

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. 

The Valley Film Festival in Los Angeles, California is presenting “Butterflies” this fall on November 13th, 2010 at 7pm in the CAP theater in Sherman Oaks.

“This opportunity to showcase YouTube on a big screen means that the
traditional and new media are slowly 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.”

The film has won the Alan J. Bailey Excellence Award and has been nominated for Best Social Commentary Award 2009 by the AOF International Film Festival. It was also awarded Best Entertainment Doc by the Philadelphia First Glance and received a couple of nominations at Montana Independent Film Festival.

The film premiered in the summer of 2009 on Los Angeles and has since acquired a worldwide distribution by the UK Journeyman Pictures.
Audiences around the world have been following the YouTube story on
their televisions and this screening will for the very first time
present the new broadcast version of the film.
