The Butterfly Tattoo (film)

The film is particularly notable given that despite being a commercial production it actively sought to provide training and experience for young film-makers.

Chris, a naive lad, suspended between school and college, and Jenny, a free spirit fleeing a traumatised childhood, fall in love against the backdrop of modern Oxford.

[3] The production welcomed applications from both experienced and inexperienced people to join the crew, stating the educational aspect was a key part of the film.

Despite only being a small, independent production, in just a few days after the US DVD release the film had attracted considerable attention on the internet.
