Justin Stanley (Stigmata) and Steve Hilts wrote the screenplay. AMBI Group’s Andrea Iervolino & Monika Bacardi (In Dubious Battle, Rupture) are producing the project with Marc Frydman (The Contender) and Silvio Muraglia (Reasonable Doubt). Black Butterfly is expected to be released later this year.
