About Me

Benjamin is an author and screenwriter. He grew up watching adventure movies like Indiana Jones and The  Goonies, pretending to live out those plots on his family’s acreage in  Nebraska. After it became “a little much” for an adult pretending to be a  globetrotting explorer, he earned his bachelor’s degree in Film and  Theatre from University of Nebraska at Lincoln and channeled his  adventurous spirit onto the page. Benjamin won Best Teleplay Honorable Mention at the 2025 Omaha Film Festival. He also won the 2018 Nashville Film Festival Pitch Competition (see more info on blog post), and earned his MFA  in Creative Writing from Mount Saint Mary’s in Los Angeles.
