‘Acquainted with the Butterflies’ features the campers of BAAM's first Summer Art Camp in 2024. A collaboration between cinematographer Christina Belinsky and the campers, the film was captured at the Annual Monarch Festival at Valentine Farm and the Museums of the Bethel Historical Society in the festival's hometown of Bethel, Maine. This film was commissioned in part by the Maine Arts Commission.
