Severine (Catherine Deneuve) is a wealthy young newlywed who's eager to live life to the fullest. Although she loves her husband, Severine can't bring herself to be intimate with him. To sate her physical desires, she indulges in erotic daydreams, often blurring the line between reality and fantasy.

"MY BUTTERFLY"   is a one act musical of escalating absurdity that accidentally touches on subjects as diverse as the environment, political correctness, and following one's dream.  The cast of oddball characters includes a bumbling grad student and his native spirit guide, a troupe of lost scouts, an eco-warrior and a famous television zoologist.  Part farce, part sing-a-long hootenanny, MY BUTTERFLY is forty minutes of surreal fun.  

Book, Music & Lyrics by Mark Steighner ;    Directed by Richard Parker

"JUNK"   is a short musical romantic comedy that explores a couple's missed connections and botched opportunities for romantic redemption.  A divorcing couple looks back on their younger selves for clues and insights into where and why their marriage failed. 

Book by Madeline Gobbo ;   Music, Lyrics, and Arrangements by Madeline Gobbo, Eryn Bryan and Mark Steighner ;   & Directed by Mark Steighner

"ZEN BOYFRIEND"   is about the travails of a young woman who has a tendency to date men who use various flavors of New Age spirituality to mask their inability to connect and commit.  Although the musical pokes gentle fun at the "spiritual marketplace," it is about the larger issue of finding a soul.

The Hood River event will follow a “mountain to river” theme, which ties well with interests in the local community, yet the event will draw upon an international and global focus in its films. A variety of films will be screened on each night, ranging from a documentary on the impacts of climate change on mountain life and skiing, to several humorous film shorts, to a documentary on paddling through remote areas of Africa. The event will include a fitting introduction from Ralph Bloemers, Staff Attorney for the Crag Law Center, and will benefit the Crag Law Center’s work with local community conservation groups in Hood River.

The Wild & Scenic Film Festival is the Largest Environmental Film Festival in North America, & is sponsored by Patagonia, Whole Foods, and others.

Crag is a client-focused non-profit law center that supports community efforts to protect and sustain the Pacific Northwest's natural legacy.  Crag has been working with local residents and conservation groups in Hood River to preserve wildlife, wildlands and watersheds on Mt. Hood and in the Hood River Valley below since 2001.  Crag balances the scales of justice by providing professional legal services to local community groups for free or as close to free as possible.
