cinema-obsessed. audience-minded. cost-conscious.
Whether directing self-generated original material or existing IP with an established house style, Benjamin Stark focuses first and foremost on the most important part of storytelling:
Building a relationship with the audience.
Cinema is a unique art form in that it is both communal and personal, and any good director works hard to create a connection between a film’s perspective and its viewers.
Drawing on a passion for craftsmanship, a lifelong love for cinema, and an eye for striking visuals, Ben has taken advantage of his first-generation immigrant experience and unique outsider perspective to create a memorable body of work.
Trusted by actors, respected by longtime collaborators, and driven by deeply held beliefs about people-first leadership, Ben works with his production teams to create fun, focused, and encouraging working environments.
