Profile

Benjamin Font is an up-and-coming writer/director whose film career began as the co-writer of Robert Schwartzman’s Dreamland, which premiered at Tribeca and was released by Orion Pictures. He made his feature directorial debut soon after with Madness, Farewell, a dark holiday comedy that he also wrote, produced, and starred in as the co-lead. His new short film Greta was commissioned by the award-winning lit magazine Switchyard and had its World Premiere at the 40th Boston Film Festival and International Premiere at Paris Film Art Festival.

With a distinct voice whose philosophies about life, love, and relationships are disguised sweetly by a raucous, relatable, and dark humor, Font’s future as an auteur that bridges the gap between independent and mainstream cinema is a bright one. He has several feature projects in development and is also the author of 10 books, including his forthcoming collection AGAIN AND AGAIN THEN THE END. | www.benjaminfont.com
