With a focus on the nuances of mental illness and the pressures faced by adolescents, it offers a thoughtful, human-centred contribution to conversations about care, understanding and support. Included in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, Sea Butterflies sits alongside other works that highlight the abilities and everyday realities of people with disability, inviting audiences to reflect and listen.

A brilliant presentation shining a light on a subject more common than many are willing to admit or speak about. A fantastic representation of a great team working collaboratively to produce such a polished final product
