99 Film's new queer movie Butterfly is being crowdfounded on GoodFunding aiming for 2 million won in donations (about 2 thousand dollars). 99 Film has used this method for other films (such as 20) and they have been in general successful in getting their target funding goals.

About the film:
Cheolsu, the hero from queer film 20 (which can be purchased over at Naver Movies), has become an adult and while beginning his social life at a host bar he is learning about life. Through the host bar 'stage', we will see various people and their desires accompanied by a story of those in their twenties. Going over the superficial image of those who work at these types of establishment, this film's director aims to provide a new perspective to the stories of those at gay host bars.
As of this blog post, Butterfly is about a third of its way to its goal. Of course, there are benefits to donating to the film depending on your donation, ranging from access to watching the film online when it is finished in 2015 to being able to attend opening parties. If you feel like contributing to the film, and you have a decent command of Korean, head over to GoodFunding to contribute.
