Butterfly Crush is a story about a female song and dance duo who threaten to self-destruct on the brink of fame and many people on Facebook and MySpace will be familiar with the girls through the Butterfly Crush music pages. The duo have posted podcasts of themselves and their music online, hoping to be discovered, and now have thousands fans.

The online promotion is going well with fans demanding the film in cities across New Zealand. Check out the 'Butterfly Crush the Movie NZ Release' page on Facebook for all the information on the New Zealand screenings.

The film attracted a lot of attention when it was screened in the Market at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year and we expect to announce release dates in other countries soon.

The production company behind Butterfly Crush has signed deals with the House of Film in California for the international rights and Hiltz Squared in Toronto for North American rights.

If you would like a screening of Butterfly Crush in your city, please use the 'Demand It' button at the top of the page. When we get enough demands for the film in any city, we will organize a screening of the film for you.

Moana and Eva are a song and dance duo which is up for the Australasian Song Awards, when one gets involved in the Dreamguides, a cult which is into astrology and virtual dreaming.

On the brink of fame, with their chance of success in jeopardy, Moana must risk everything to rescue Eva and keep Butterfly Crush in the Awards.

Will Moana be lured into the cult by a young member, Matt or will she break free to follow their dreams?
