Surreal Short Film

A haunting exploration of identity and self-discovery, following a man trapped within the confines of his own mind. This surreal journey examines how relationships can fundamentally alter our sense of self, and the struggle to reclaim one's identity when everything familiar becomes foreign.

About The Butterfly Effect

Our Mission

At The Butterfly Effect Film Productions, we believe that small moments can create profound change. Our stories focus on authentic human experiences, particularly those exploring mental health, identity, and transformation.


We're committed to bringing real, unfiltered stories to the screen - stories that matter, that resonate, and that can spark meaningful conversations about the human condition.
