Lepidopterist (2021)
A young scientist drives away from a lab with a large box in the back of her van. But what does it contain? What follows is a tense adventure story about man's relationship with nature, and the lengths we can go to to protect the things we love. The original cut of the film was shot and edited in two days as part of the Sci-Fi London 48hr Film Challenge, but it has since been re-edited and extended for festivals.
