Duplass Brothers Productions is an American independent film and television production company founded by Mark Duplass and Jay Duplass, two brothers who are also directors, producers and writers. They have produced films such as The Puffy Chair (2005), Safety Not Guaranteed (2012) and The Skeleton Twins (2014), and the HBO comedy-drama television series Togetherness (2015–2016).
History
Duplass Brothers Productions was founded in 1996, with the release of their first film, by brothers Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass. The company originally produced low-budget mumblecore films,[1] but has since expanded to studio projects when recognisable talent signed on to star in their films.[2] In 2015, the Duplass Brothers expanded into television with their first series Togetherness, in which Mark also stars.[2] In January 2015, Duplass Brothers Productions closed a 4-picture deal with Netflix, involving financing from the company and, after a short theatrical run, the films being available to Netflix subscribers.[3] In June 2015, Duplass Brothers Productions finalized a 7-picture distribution deal with The Orchard, releasing the Duplass-produced films theatrically prior to their Netflix release.[4]
