OUR BRAND VALUES
COLLABORATION
Everyone on our team, from showrunner to intern, is essential in producing great television. With a story-first mindset, we develop shows that elevate our mission, regardless of who is heading the process, to ensure quality and consistency of programming in an ever-changing landscape.
COMMUNITY
Whether it’s our connection with our audience or with each other, we’re here to listen. Art is made to bring people together. All of our shows are developed to curate and foster a safe community.
CREATIVITY
Story is more than plot. It encompasses everything we want to say, and not say, about our world and the people who live in it. When we have a strong story as our North Star, we can make bold choices. Our teams are encouraged to play and find the best way to tell their story in a way that aligns with our independent spirit.
CULTURE
CREDIBILITY
From staff meetings, to set, to interacting with our community, we believe all stories deserve to be told and all voices deserve to be heard when presented with respect and dignity. Our shows spotlight characters with a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives, and we cultivate an equally diverse audience. By experiencing lives that are different from our own, we learn how to become our best selves.
Movie magic is great on screen, but when working together, transparency is key. Our team openly shares our engagement numbers, brand partners, and list of donors (with their permission) so our audience and collaborators know how we’re doing. Everyone on our team reads the trades and socials, ensuring we never lose touch with who we are and why we do what we do.
OUR TEAM
SANDRENE MATHEWS
Founder/President
A rare breed that excels in Math and English, Sandrene has always been a visionary. Her propensity for troubleshooting and improving system processes proved invaluable during her time as a stage manager in live music and led to a seamless transition as an IT analyst where she designed and taught training curriculum for technicians. On more than one occasion a role was created specifically for Sandrene and her skillset.
In 2010, Sandrene stepped on set for the first time since her childhood acting days and knew she was home. She pivoted to working in production, becoming a key player in the Nashville indie film scene as an Assistant Director and Editor, as well as a creative consultant for early-career filmmakers. Drawing from her experience as a trainer, Sandrene taught classes in directing, acting, and filmmaking basics. She also worked with producers and directors to help them set goals and approach their projects with intentionality and within budget.
Sandrene strives to develop shows that reflect the world's diversity and feature emotionally charged stories of characters discovering their best selves while normalizing conversations around mental health.

We are the Butcher Birds. We create branded content through the absolute newest technology and most engaging stories. We’re making something funky, surprising, and purposefully brand new.
Butcher Bird Studios was founded by a flock of creatives dedicated to fostering an environment that encourages experimentation and collaboration. As the studio grew, we gathered together a dedicated team of agile and innovative creators committed to our vision. Since then, we’ve been on a journey to tell
powerful stories any -way, -how, and -where we can.
We leverage the experience and diverse background of our team to bring distinctive and highly strategic projects to life. Our work happens at the intersection of story and tech, set free by pioneering new workflows, re-imagining existing tools, and creating intentional impact in every production. Stories Invariably. Surprises? Frequently. Spelunking? Honestly, more often than you’d expect. As you can probably tell, we’re always up to something.
