“The Butterfly Circus” is a deeply touching short film directed by Joshua Weigel, which recently won the $100,000 grand prize at the Doorpost Film Project. In the depths of the Great Depression, the ringmaster of a renowned circus leads his troupe through the devastated American landscape, lifting the spirits of audiences all along the way. During their travels they encounter, Will, a quadriplegic who is living out his life in a cruel carnival sideshow. It’s only when Will joins up with the Butterfly Circus that he acquires a drive to hope against everything he has ever believed, finally being able to realize his true potential.
There are just no words that can really capture the emotional richness of this film. You'll have to see it to believe it, and maybe then to believe a little more in yourself as well.
This piece includes a number of high-resolution photographs, as well as the masterful short film, “The Butterfly Circus.”
