Grant Butler

Grant, 48, is an alcoholic ex photojournalist who is seriously burnt out and PTSD-ed from too many years in war zones. He is fatally conflicted by the idea that while he was working as a cameraman he could have saved lives and instead chose to shoot images that never made a difference. The young idealist in him has died and he has been celebrating the wake ever since. He recently has made the decision to start the process of recovering his life by rekindling an earlier passion for cinematography and Kurt’s film is his first gig.

Grant is gruff, stern, cynical, skeptical but masks a sentimentality and passion not far from the surface.

When Kurt and Brian hire him, he knows what they are after - the moment he is most famous for filming - a man in Misrata, Libya 2011. The man died just after the image was taken.
