Tiny Poster Club
Every month, Layered Butter commissions an independent artist to reinterpret a culturally significant film, creating a limited edition print available exclusively to members.
Members don't simply receive the finished artwork – they help shape it.
From early concepts and creative discussions to work-in-progress updates and final refinements, the Tiny Poster Club offers a rare opportunity to experience the creative process from the inside.
Join today and receive an exclusive welcome gift with your first shipment.
We believe every great movie deserves hundreds of interpretations.
Every film leaves behind stories that its theatrical poster could never fully tell.
At Layered Butter, we commission independent artists to revisit the films they love through their own visual language, creating original artwork that wouldn't exist otherwise. Each commission becomes another voice in an ever-growing conversation about cinema.
It's our way of ensuring that new film art continues to be created, one art commission at a time.
How It Works.
1. We commission an artist.
Each month, an independent artist is invited to reinterpret a different film through an original Tiny Poster.
2. Members help shape the artwork.
Follow the commission from early sketches through creative discussions, feedback, and refinement as the artwork develops.
3. Receive the finished Tiny Poster.
Once complete, the artwork is professionally printed and shipped to members before the edition is permanently retired.

From Sketches to Final.
Patreon isn't just where we share the finished artwork. It's where you follow every step of its creation. From early concepts and creative exploration to refinement and the final Tiny Poster, members are invited inside each artist's creative process as each interpretation takes shape.
The Tiny Poster
Every completed commission is produced as a professionally printed 5 × 7 inch Tiny Poster on premium cardstock and shipped to members in a sturdy flat mailer.
Designed to sit somewhere between a fine-art print and a postcard, each edition is easy to collect, frame, or share while remaining substantial enough to stand on its own as a collectable.
The reverse of the poster features the artist's attribution, a brief statement about the artwork, and its place within the growing Tiny Poster series.
Director’s Cut Editions
Some commissions inspire more than one compelling interpretation.
For select releases, artists create a Director's Cut edition that explores a different composition, atmosphere, or emotional perspective. Rather than simple colour variants, these are companion pieces reserved for higher membership tiers.
The Artist’s Interpretation
Every Tiny Poster begins with an artist's unique way of seeing a film. These reflections offer a glimpse into the ideas, themes, and moments that shaped each interpretation, inviting members inside the creative process.
“Max begins the film as little more than a hood ornament, inspiring the idea of him dangling from a rearview mirror as a metaphor for his role as a disposable blood bag. Surrounding him are objects that mark his journey across the wasteland and his gradual reclamation of agency.”
“I chose to focus on Lady Kaede and the quiet, vengeful anger that slowly unravels the world around her. Though she appears sparingly, her piercing presence amplifies the film's theatrical power.”
“Pan’s Labyrinth inspired my final University dissertation and continues to shape how I see fantasy. Ofelia’s underworld isn’t a refuge but a reflection of reality. Its cruelty mirrors the violence of Franco’s Spain – the Pale Man, the impossible choices, and the cost of disobedience all echo the brutality she’s trying to escape.”
Help Bring the Next Artwork to Life.
Patreon isn't where we simply share finished artwork. It's where you become part of the creative process.
