What does a caterpillar wish for? To be a butterfly of course; and the process of metamorphosing from the embryonic to the fully fledged is a journey that director Sandra Sciberras can relate to. From a single image to a full feature film, Sciberras has run the gamut to bring her vision to the silver screen.
"The very, very start of it was an old friend of mine", Sciberras explains. "She was taking a photograph of something; and this image just stuck in my mind and I wrote it down. Then a few years later, I had this dream about a police car cruising past a high school, and this glimpse of schoolgirls' outfits. So when it came time to write a draft, I just kind of merged these two images that I had and started from that. At that stage, I didn't really know where it was going to lead. But then I started thinking about it as a film about identity and trust and love".
