KCUFF Presents: The Butterfly Queen

KC Underground Film Festival is back at Stray Cat to bring the best of 2022's fest! Coming this month: The Gilliam-esque fantasy THE BUTTERFLY QUEEN

The Butterfly Queen

dir. Liam O'Connor-Genereaux - 2022 - 1hr 16 mins

Five years ago, best friends Casey and Robin parted ways. Casey wanted to draw cartoons and take over their grandparents sheep farm, Robin wanted to leave town and never look back. 
Now, five years later, Casey and Robin find themselves (against all odds) chasing a teenager through a magical, monster-infested forest, struggling to regain Casey’s stolen sketchbook so that they can get the hell back home. Trouble is, The Butterfly Queen wants the sketchbook as well, and A) she’s clever, B) she’s desperate and C) she makes the rules.

Inspired by the eccentric conspiracy theories of the Bavarian Illuminati, the Freemasons and the New World Order. Including the works of Carl Jung, Manly P.
