 Butler has worked in films during the 2000s, such as "Frailty" (2002) and "Funny Money" (2006).Bill Paxton, the director of the former film, said, "I was excited when Bill Butler who was the cinematographer on such classic films as "Jaws" and "The Conversation" came aboard as my director of photography for "Frailty".And I really picked his brain, always asking 'how did you do this shot?'
