Butterflies and Breakfast Cereal is inspired by the classic blockbuster films of the 1980s and irreverent screwball comedies of the 30s and 40s. BBC comes from the want of making a big budget action film without having the budget for one. Writer/Director Zechariah Towner's solution, in this case, was to set the entire film within one room. The challenge then became how to make a film that's mostly dialogue and is contained within a 900 sq ft apartment feel dynamic and entertaining.
