North Idaho native Caden Butera has been passionate about filmmaking for as long as he can remember. Driven by a lifelong mission to create art that offers fresh perspectives, sparks the imagination, and, above all, entertains, Caden has steadily turned his passion into a profession.
He is the founder and owner of Paradox Studios, a multi-media production company specializing in original films as well as professional photo and video services. Paradox Studios is a family affair: Caden collaborates closely with his brother, Rylan Butera, who serves as co-writer and composer, and their parents, Jackie Butera (Producer and Unit Production Manager) and Mark Butera (Executive Producer).
Caden’s first full-length feature film, Recollection: A Sci-Fi Thriller, has been earning accolades on the film festival circuit. Set in a near future where technology allows people to erase painful memories, the story follows Kate, a woman whose supposedly deleted memories resurface—revealing a disturbing truth about her past and the powerful company behind the technology.
The Paradox Studios team is currently working to bring Recollection to a wider audience through a streaming platform.
