Film Production

I first set out to be a cinematographer. After just a few years I worked on numerous films and ended up both directing and producing. In 2002 I co-founded Snow Frog Productions with fellow film makers Jeremy Elliott, James Roberts and Bryce Devincenzi. Our primary goal was to gain experience in film and that we did, the company quickly grew to 11 members and proceeded to make 6 short films in the first 2 years

Jesus & Me

Ashes

Candy Dealers

Amuse

Moving On

Destructive Patterns

4 of which premiered at Hollywood's Cinespace. The same 4 showed at the Brentwood Film Festival in 2004.

One of the goals of ben krantz STUDIO is to produce short films both here in the Bay Area and in Los Angeles. Teaming up earlier this year with Creepi Films and director Ben Pierce, we produced the short film Curly starring Henry Perkins and Xanadu Bruggers. We are also in development for a short titled Monster Town.
