In August 2011, we had a 3 week adventure – writing, producing and editing a movie for the Project Twenty1 Film Festival. The unpredictability of filmmaking was not missing from this production. At the end of the three weeks we turned something in that we were very happy with. And without further adieu, The Butler Did It.
