PHOENIX - Arizonar -- A young mother is trying to keep her daughter safe in a world that grows less familiar by the day. A series of environmental disasters has pushed society to the brink of collapse. For her family, the scale of the catastrophe comes down to a question any parent can imagine asking: "Where can I take my child tonight, and will we be safe when we get there?"

That uncertainty drives The Last Butterflies, a near-future survival drama directed by Patrick Rea and written by Whitney Wegman-Wood, who also stars as the mother. Cooper Andrews plays her husband, a NASA scientist, and Ivy Hickman plays their young daughter. As the family searches for shelter, the film stays close to the mother and the choices she faces when the places and people she once counted on can no longer guarantee her child's safety.

The story began with a series of nightmares Wegman-Wood had about a world ravaged by drought and famine. She turned those fears into a drama about a family trying to stay together. Every decision about where to go and whom to trust carries the weight of a child's future.
