Brewing Independent Movies Since 2003

Formed in 2003, Substance Production (SubProd) is the cocked and loaded offspring of maverick filmmaking brothers Brett and Jason Butler. Based out of Toronto, SubProd is an independent film production company dedicated to brewing films with integrity and honesty, character based films about the human condition that are poignant, funny, insightful and enduring. Most importantly, SubProd makes movies with vision and without compromise.

DRINK IT INDIE

Independent films are not only what SubProd produces but what we enjoy watching! Sitting back with a couple beers and taking in a great indie flick, without preconceived notions and gobs of propaganda shoved down our throats for weeks in advance, is what we do.

“Mark these words: you read it here first. If the Butler Bros. (Jason & Brett) don’t implode, explode or just plain plode, then I fearlessly predict you’re going to be seeing a lot more from these cinematic siblings from Canada’s Big Smoke.”    – Rick McGrath, Culture Court

Butler Brother Brews have beeen enjoyed around the globe, including: Australia, Wales, South Africa, England and the USA, along with many stops in between. Critically acclaimed as “two of the strongest voices in indie film” (Dan Stasiewski, The Film Chair), the Butlers will continue to brew great movies as long as people still thirst for connection. Drink it indie.
