Writer and actress, Whitney Wegman-Wood said, “I’m absolutely floored by the response and support of the San Diego film community, the audience and the judges for the San Diego Film Awards. I’m so honored by these nominations and thrilled that our movie struck an emotional chord with so many viewers. I have to credit our whole team for that. We would not be eliciting this type of reaction without all the hard work of everyone who was a part of this movie. It makes me happy to see them nominated and recognized.”
Directed by Patrick Rea, with associate producer, Herb Jackson Jr., ‘The Last Butterflies’ was filmed in Kansas.
