In the early 1990's, Kaprice founded The Peeping Tom's Club, a Soho venue for independent film-makers. In 1993, Kaprice made his first 35mm short, the haunting and sensual Honeymoon Beyond. The acclaimed director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting) described it as "excellent... shot with distinction, real energy, commitment and vision." He followed this with The Hurting, a sensitive tale of compassion and healing, which was screened at Sydney and won the Best Producer's Award at Raindance. Butterfly Man is Kaprice's first international feature film.
