Jess Jacobs
Three aspiring young women (Naomi, Joe, and Elsa) set out to break into the acting business. Naomi, the most seasoned of the roommates, is the full package. Joe has the tools and the passion, but perhaps lacks the focus. And Elsa is a fresh-off-the-bus beginner who arrives to the scene excited, energetic, and naive. Even though they all are completely aware of the surrounding evils of their desired career, the short-cuts to achieving instant fame will always be tempting. Especially when the window of success in such a competitive culture is so small and saturated with people who are no different than you. Audiences will agree, Butterfly Caught captures the competitive grind of an actor and the thirst for relevance in a city that often recycles through talent and destroys ambitions. We assure you, even through this film depicts brutal truth, Butterfly Caught is a fun and entertaining ride with interesting characters and a refreshing look at the business and process that captivates us. Even through its realism, its message and outcome still serves as inspiration to struggling artists everywhere.
