I am deeply honored and grateful to XBIZ for recognizing Broken Butterfly: The Perfect Shade of Blu with eight XMA nominations. This film was truly a passion project, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible vision and talent of Jeffrey John Hart, who brought the story to life so beautifully. Every person on this team—Jeff, Amber Guerra, Robert Sotello, Kyle McQueen, and our amazing cast and crew—contributed something extraordinary to this project. Thank you to XBIZ for this incredible honor, and to our fans for continuing to support and celebrate our work!
“This film was a massive undertaking but having Holly’s support allowed me to bring it to life,’ said Hart. “Last year our first movie Hopeless won Best Featurette and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this year! Jewelz Blu gave the performance of a lifetime and I was constantly blown away by her dedication to her craft. We worked very closely rehearsing and building out her character leading up to the 3 day shoot. I consider myself extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to work with such an amazing cast and crew.”
