βOther studios chase prestige. Butter Pictures chases impactβthe kind that rattles theater walls, launches cult careers, and reminds audiences that movies were never meant to behave.ββLena Cruz, Midnight Frames

Founded in 1999 by sisters Holly and Harley Malcontent, Butter Pictures transformed the lost art of exploitation filmmaking into a modern cinematic empire. Armed with little more than pre-sold posters, impossible deadlines, and a refusal to spend money they didnβt absolutely need to, the sisters built one of the most prolific independent studios in modern history.

Across more than 250 films, Butter became synonymous with gloriously earnest B-movie spectacle: revenge thrillers, disco ninja epics, swamp-action franchises, deadpan absurdist comedies, and superhero sagas stitched together with practical effects, relentless ambition, and just enough chaos to make every production legendary.
Critics dismissed them as disposable schlock. Fans embraced them as the last true guardians of unfiltered genre filmmaking.
Then came hubris.

The studioβs disastrous 2015 blockbuster gamble nearly destroyed everything. But where lesser studios collapsed, Butter adaptedβreturning leaner, stranger, and more committed than ever to its handmade philosophy of practical spectacle and unironic sincerity.

From cult icons like Dying Dream and Disco Kunoichi to infamous misfires like Mistress of the Galaxy, Butter Pictures survived near-bankruptcy, industry ridicule, and even the death of physical media itself.

What remains is something rare: a studio that never stopped believing movies should be bold, tactile, and just a little bit dangerous. Part business miracle, part exploitation fever dream, this is the story of the studio that refused to dieβand accidentally became immortal.

I wanted to make something fun that also is kinda nostalgic, and there is the result.
As usual, I made {user} as ambiguous as possible, so you can choose who you are in whatever way you like, from actor and director to just some extra. Have fun!
And yes, this is a love letter to Cannon Films and every cheesy 80s movie that is not that self-aware contemporary shit known as "Sharknado".

Refresh or delete responses when the bot talks or acts for you.
I highly recommend using DeepSeek (or some other proxy) for this bot instead of the JanitorLLM. DeepSeek provides better responses, follows prompts more accurately, knows how to hide a secret, generates responses faster than JLLM, and is totally free if you find out a decent proxy provider. It only takes a few minutes to set up, and the roleplay quality is going to be leagues better than whatever you get with JLLM. If you don't know how to set it up, here are two setup tutorials from the Janitor subreddit:
The first tutorial is for the OpenRouter method (is not free anymore)
The second tutorial is for a newer method that uses ChutesAI (is not free anymore either)
Seriously, just spend a few minutes to do it, you won't regret it. It's like a generational leap in quality from the Janitor LLM. It's so good that you will forget that JanitorLLM ever existed.
