Danger lurks just around the corner as the notorious, Michael Horris Davies IV has just escaped from Kenton County’s Maximum Security State-of-the-Art Underground Prison. The killer, who chops his victims into 43 equal pieces, bites off more than he can chew when he crosses paths with a toxic waste dump worker with a take-no-prisoners attitude trained by roving Gypsies in the ancient art of Kung Fu. In the melee that follows the blood of the killer is mixed with deadly toxic waste in the worst place imaginable – the nest of a butterfly - with horrible consequences for all.

When the dust settles hordes of giant mutated killer butterflies emerge from their toxic cocoons hell bent upon the destruction of civilization as we know it. Young or old, rich or poor, none are safe from the ruthless attack of mutant beasts. Stories spread like wildfire about the deadly butterflies that are said to be two stories tall with teeth like sharpened steak knives and an insatiable taste for human blood. When things get out of hand the president must call in the military to save our great nation from the ferocious killer butterflies intent upon world domination.

Is there any hope for mankind to prevail against the great winged menace? Are we destined for a future of butterfly overlords? Join us for the Butterfly Affect.


What is all of this about, you may ask.

You may have heard about the C-horror movie that my brother, roommate and I are currently brewing up like the bathtub gin of old Athens town. All of my waking hours are spent tethered to this confounded editing box - albeit a jazzy Mac G5. The time spent here at the still distilling down the "funny" is sending me into a state of delirium that I would put up against any drug-addled 70s classic rock roadie in their prime. Without all of the good Mescaline of course.

My cabin is infested with wasps. It is not heated and it is still cold at night. I slept from 8:30 am until 11:30 am on a couch last night with a riled-up cat running laps from the empty food dish to the visual buffet on the kitty big screen - the large picture window with a bird feeder hanging just feet away from the glass. Not much opportunity for slumber allotted for the human occupants.

Just six days until the premiere. Press releases. Flyering. Trailer distribution. Calling friends and family. Planning a show. And, oh yeah, finishing the fucking mutant butterfly C-horror picture by the end of the week.

You do, however, have my guarantee that this will not be the worst movie you have ever seen.

Yours, Aaron Joseph Maier.
