At Mango Verde Productions, we are thrilled and proud to announce that our documentary “Paper Butterfly” has been nominated at two prestigious festivals: the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival (LALIFF) 2024 and the Venezuelan Film Festival. These nominations are a great achievement and validate our effort in creating authentic and moving stories.
Since our founding in 2021 by filmmaker Rafael Medina Adalfio, we have been committed to producing content that entertains, inspires, and educates. “Paper Butterfly” is a testament to this commitment. The documentary offers an intimate look at the life of an Andean farming family and their daily struggles, filling us with pride and satisfaction.
The LALIFF nomination is especially significant. This festival celebrates the best of Latin cinema and is a key platform for Latino filmmakers to showcase their work to a global audience. Being recognized on this international stage honors us and motivates us to continue telling stories that highlight the cultural richness of our roots.
The nomination at the Venezuelan Film Festival is equally special. As a Venezuelan production company, receiving this honor in our country is a tribute to our land, our people, and our culture. We are proud to represent Venezuela in the cinematic realm and contribute to the development of Venezuelan cinema.
These nominations reflect the hard work and passion of our team. From director Rafael Medina Adalfio to every team member, everyone has played a crucial role in this project. “Paper Butterfly” is not just a documentary but also a tool for reflection and change, exploring the beauty and challenges of rural life in the Venezuelan Andes.
We thank everyone who has supported “Paper Butterfly” and invite you to join us in celebrating these nominations. For more information, visit our digital platforms ((youtube and instagram).
