"Butch Kaplan was a lifesaver on our Newline film The Notebook. He was able to corral locations in Charleston, South Carolina, a crew from all over the country, and a "challenged" cast, to say nothing of a gaggle of geese! He has an excellent production mind and is unafraid of any situation that may confront him. I'd be only too happy to work with Butch again."

"Butch Kaplan has worked for us on as a Producer on a number of different projects. He always brings a wealth of production knowledge and a world of experience to his efforts. He is really a Producer ready for any challenge."

"I've made almost a dozen films with Butch Kaplan. None of them would have been as good without him. The way films are set up, producers and directors can be on different sides sometimes. Both positions are in charge of quality control. Directors have ideas, good directors have lots of ideas. But ideas cost. That's where Butch is great. A bad producer can just tell you no, that there isn't enough money to do that. And at first glance, they'd be right. But Butch loves movies, and he wants the movies that he works on to be great, as well. So instead of flat rejecting me, he would pull his hair out, trying to get me what I wanted. Butch can recognize a good idea from an okay one, and sometimes there is no money for any idea, even if the idea is great. So he'd begin to think non-linearly, many times robbing Peter to pay Paul, and somehow, he'd always give me what I needed. He's a brilliant problem solver, a glorious friend, and he loves movies."

"I made a TV pilot with Butch Kaplan and the best thing to come out of it was our relationship. He's not only tops at what he does, he's passionate about film (still, after making so many) and, perhaps most importantly, is someone with whom it's a joy after you wrap."

"Butch Kaplan loves film. He has brought his tremendous knowledge, strong leadership skills and enthusiasm to every project that we have worked on over the years regardless of the size or complexity of the project. He has also consistently delivered on budget on projects shooting all over the world."

"Butch Kaplan was our North American Line Producer for DEVS written and directed by Alex Garland. Butch successfully integrated our British production customs and crew members to the shoot in San Francisco and Santa Cruz. His understanding of foreign productions was invaluable to the process."

"Film Finances has had an excellent working relationship with Butch for over 25 years. We have collaborated on numerous projects across all genres, budgets, and locations around the world. Butch is a top of class Producer with boundless experience and the knowledge to take on any challenge."

"I had the amazing opportunity to meet Butch and work with him on The Mosquito Coast in Mexico. Working in another country is not easy for everyone, but Butch adapted so well, bringing all his knowledge to the team with the utmost respect. He is a devoted filmmaker and a fantastic leader. I would work with him again in a heartbeat!"

"If we have a difficult film that requires a light but formidable touch, we call Butch. Experienced in all facets of producing, from dealing with complex personalities to a complicated budget, Butch can take in a situation quickly and almost immediately begins to provide solutions. He is dependable, knowledgeable, and almost always the first person I call when I need help."

"I've worked with Butch on "She's So Lovely" "John Q" "Alpha Dog" and "The Notebook" and "All Star Weekend" — Butch is by far the best producer I've ever worked with. Funny, witty, professional and an all-around joy to be around. I am proud to call him a friend."

"Butch is an exceptional producer who combines strong execution with an impressive network in the industry. He doesn't just know people, he knows how to bring the right people together in order to move a project forward."

"I have been incredibly fortunate to work alongside Butch on AMC's Fear the Walking Dead's season 2 in Baja, Mexico. Butch is an exceptional producer whose years of expertise have profoundly shaped my understanding and approach to the craft. Collaborating with him has been a transformative experience, offering invaluable insights and learning opportunities that I deeply appreciate."

"I worked with Butch on "The Lighthouse" in Nova Scotia and am delighted to have kept in touch ever since. Butch's absolute commitment to designing a production structure that starts and ends with the most productive way forward sets him apart. He is a leader who sets the tone of thorough preparation and collaboration that plots the course long before the camera ever rolls. His body of work spanning years and continents leaves him well placed to know the fundamental elements that will ensure a well planned, well executed project. Butch's passion for shorter more productive work hours combined with his demonstrated track record of how to achieve them is an absolute game changer."

"Working with Butch and Ten and One Film Productions, Inc. was a genuinely refreshing experience. Professional and deeply human, Butch brings extensive experience in the business, which shows in the calm confidence and clear guidance he offers on every project. He treats every hiccup not as a problem but as a creative challenge and opportunity, approaching solutions with resourcefulness, positivity, and respect for the whole team. His commitment, steady leadership, and approach to collaboration made the entire process smooth, inspiring, and highly productive. I'd work with him and Ten and One Film Productions, Inc. again without hesitation. Merci encore!"

"During the 15 years I have known Butch, he has been not only one of the most prolific producers in the business, but also one of the most respected and well liked. He has incredible contacts, decades of experience, and an enduring and infectious positivity."

"I first met Butch Kaplan in 2019 during the Toronto Mission to Los Angeles with the Mayor of Toronto and various local film community vendors. Bold, energetic and engaging are a few adjectives to describe a man whose deep love for the industry and the process of creating good work is contagious. His credits attest to his hard work and determination to bring interesting stories to life. I'm thrilled to hear that he's created his own new production shingle, "Ten And One Film Productions," based here in Toronto. Looking forward to exciting collaborations and the positive impact Butch's new company will have on, not only Toronto, but the industry as a whole."

"I've had the pleasure of working with Butch on the vendor side for multiple productions. In our dealings I've come to greatly appreciate his candor, organization and positive attitude. He often makes business easy and direct, which is all you can ask for in a production partner. Happy to call Butch a friend and colleague and always look forward to supporting a production he is producing or managing."

"Butch is an exceptional producer who combines strong execution with an impressive network. He operates with remarkable speed and intensity, creating value beyond the lens by identifying strategic partnerships and new opportunities. He runs a disciplined operation through wrap."
