About Madriver Pictures

MadRiver Pictures is a leading production, finance, and international sales company founded by industry veteran Marc Butan. Since the company’s launch in 2015, the experienced team at MadRiver Pictures has leveraged its relationships, creative vision, and distribution and finance expertise to establish MadRiver as a top destination for filmmakers and talent. With a distinctive ability to develop, finance, and produce, MadRiver works in both the independent and studio spaces, supporting director-driven projects across the specialty and commercial markets.
