Project Butterfly: Flatwoods

A student assignment. A lunar eclipse. A forgotten corner of West Virginia. What begins as a weekend camping trip for three college students quickly unravels into something far more disturbing. As strange phenomena disrupt their recordings, they find themselves caught in a web of folklore, conspiracy, and terror buried deep in the Appalachian hills. With only a camera to document what’s unfolding around them, the line between myth and reality begins to blur. Told entirely through recovered footage, Project Butterfly: Flatwoods is a chilling descent into the unknown, where every glitch, shadow, and silence holds a warning. Inspired by real West Virginia legends, this film invites you to witness what was never meant to be seen.
