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] In August 2016, Duplass Brothers announced another television project Room 104 to air on HBO in 2017,[5] which was quickly renewed for a second season.[6] In 2018, it was announced the company had entered into a new 4-picture deal with Netflix, that gave the streaming giant worldwide rights.[7] Mel Eslyn was named president of Duplass Brothers Productions in 2017.
