Matthew is a British director, writer, producer and co-founder of Fizz and Ginger Films. He originally trained as an actor and worked professionally for over a decade before becoming a full time director of film, TV and theatre. He created Fizz and Ginger Films, with Tori Butler-Hart (his wife since 2015), in 2009 and has since written and directed four feature length movies as well as short films and TV pilots. He also produces for other filmmakers on occasion.
The arts have always been in the family with a great Aunt, Molly Quinn, training at RADA before later becoming a poet in Ireland. Matthew has two younger brothers, Graham Butler, an actor, and Dominic Butler, a novelist. Their father, Patrick Butler, was a keen amateur actor, but died at the age of 43. Matthew moved around the country as child and it was in the rainy hills of Yorkshire and Lancashire as a teenager that he began performing and writing plays for his high school before discovering the joys of creating short films, which quickly grew into a passion which would become his life.
