Every child loves their toys. But some become more precious than we'd ever imagine.

When a lonely, anti-social man stops by his usual bakery for his usual one cookie, the baker insists he take a dozen cookies instead. Reluctantly, the man complies, forcing him out of his comfort zone and into unexpected friendships.

This film takes you inside the head of a teenage girl, Kelly, as she struggles with body image, her first crush, and so much more.

After feeling butterflies for the first time, a girl is shown what it will feel like to fall in love but she also experiences what it will all lead to: pain and heartbreak. With this knowledge, she must decide if breaking out of the chrysalis is worth it, even if what once was a butterfly will soon turn back into a caterpillar.

2nd place winner at the 2018 NVGFF.
