Butterknife is finally here! Check out the first ever episode of Joe Swanberg's new web series at the
Butterknife group here at Spout. If you haven't heard about Butterknife here's a little peek at what you've been missing;
Forced to deal with the ugly side of people and relationships all day, an unnamed private investigator can't wait to get home and hang out with his wife, a child therapist at a hospital. Played by real life husband and wife, Ronald and Mary Bronstein, each episode contrasts the unusual, hysterical and tense interactions of P.I. work with a disarming look at a married couple working on a healthy relationship.
Director Joe Swanberg felt compelled to make Butterknife after spending a week with Ronald and Mary at their NYC apartment, getting a first hand look at their relationship. The three worked together closely to create the series, soliciting help from several filmmaker friends around the country to round out the cast and crew.
