Experience behind every frame

Built on a lifetime
of making films.

Benvention Films is led by Benjamin Pollack, a writer, producer, director and editor whose work spans narrative film, documentary, television and award-winning music videos.

A graduate of the American Film Institute's MFA program, Benjamin brings an editor's understanding of rhythm, a director's instinct for performance and a producer's determination to get the story onto the screen.

His career includes work with established screen talent and acclaimed recording artists, from the independent drama What Ever Happened to Jonny Faith to music-video collaborations with artists including Rusty Anderson and Daniel Ash.

That experience is the foundation of Benvention Films' next chapter: using evolving AI production tools to imagine ambitious worlds and bring them to life.
