The Butterfly Effect was a community art project by Gill Simmons, artistic director of Brave Bold Drama working in partnership with sculptor Sophie Howard and film-maker Anna Haydock Wilson.

The Butterfly Effect project explored what Hartcliffe residents enjoyed about being in natural spaces. Residents talked to Gill Simmons and decorated willow butterflies to express their relationship with the natural world. These butterflies were shared and celebrated at a community event in February 2020. The lyrics of the song "Green Open Space" that accompanies this film are also inspired by the words of Hartcliffe people. It was commissioned by Ginkgo Projects Ltd & Keepmoat and was based in Hartcliffe.
