Cinergistik is Benjamin's new creative home for filmmaking and storytelling. Prior to co-founding Cinergistik, he was co-founder and creator of Metabook®. In 2021, the Metabook brand name and global trademarks were acquired by Meta Platforms. Benjamin directed the acclaimed shorts Rêve Fantastique ("an amazing short film" -The Wrap); Skeleton Boy ("a moving short documentary" -Boing Boing); and Wally Lamb at The Garde, about the #1 New York Times bestselling author's novel I'll Take You There ("a major coup for Metabook" -The New York Times). His work as a documentary filmmaker delves into unexplored aspects of established subject matter: the legacy of silent film pioneer Lois Weber (Yours Sincerely, Lois Weber, which Benjamin executive produced with Elizabeth Banks); the true crime origins of Twin Peaks (the upcoming Blonde, Beautiful and Dead); Whitney Houston on the brink of stardom (the just-announced Whitney Houston in Focus, executive produced by Audra McDonald). Benjamin's work has been profiled in The New York Times, The Hollywood Reporter, MovieMaker Magazine, Variety, Adweek and Deadline. Story remains central to his work, his favorite being the story not yet discovered.
