About me
His father, a jazz musician, his mother, a painter: Benjamin was raised to hold authentic expression and visual art as essential hallmarks of the human experience. His first feature film, “Honor Flight: Stars & Stripes” (2012) premiered to a crowd of almost 30,000 people (breaking a world record). The film became an early acquisition at Netflix.In 2015 Benjamin attend a private cinematography institute founded by Vilmos Zsigmond ASC and continued to shoot several award winning films, documentaries, and commercials. His philosophical approach to cinematography garnered him the opportunity to present at a 2017 TEDx event in Guatemala.
Benjamin is based in Los Angeles and is the owner and operator of far too many tools of the cinematographer’s trade. When he's not on set: He makes loud / strange noises on a bass guitar, makes things out of leather, volunteers at the ASC, and reads almost as much fiction as movies he watches.
