Watch movies. Change the world.
A proud member of the socially-conscious film community, Benjamin directed and co-produced The Throwaway War, which he earned an Excellence Award in Production from Northwestern University, a festival prize, the "Champion for Recovery" award from A Safe Haven Foundation, and a commercial distribution offer.
Among other films, Singer's collaboration on "A Dream Foreclosed" was showcased at the 2009 Chicago United Film Festival, and he was recently flown to the Peten region of Guatemala to shoot a short film on the developing community of Pueblo Nuevo. His senior thesis, Andrew Immortal, was a controversial narrative-documentary crossover that has so far earned a favorable review from the co-director of production and development at Lionsgate.
Benjamin’s direction of a video for Engineers for a Sustainable World helped win the national Climate Witness Challenge contest, securing funding for an environmental engineering project in Evanston.
Benjamin is currently in production for a controversial and politically-charged new film, Mr. Smith Goes to Prison, following the spectacular demise of former Missouri senator Jeff Smith. It features a bombing, suicide, and lessons to be learned.
