They are known for darkly funny, character driven movies,[1] including First Round Down, Mourning Has Broken, and Confusions of an Unmarried Couple.
The pair have been collaborating since 2005 and have also co-produced feature films from other writer/directors including Love in the Sixth by Jude Klassen and The Notorious Newman Brothers by Ryan Noel, which they also starred in.
The Butler Brothers were born and primarily raised in Toronto, Ontario, by their parents, Robert and Barbara (née MacPherson).
Opting out of his final year at Carleton, Brett moved back to Toronto and began working on a script with Jason that would eventually become their first feature film, Alive and Lubricated.
The Butlers quickly began production on their second feature, Bums, once again sharing duties as writer, producer, director and editor, eventually releasing both films independently.
