About

I’m Stephanie Benson, a documentary-focused film production professional who enjoys jumping into hands-on roles across the camera, lighting, grip, and post. I’ve worked on indie features, national brand commercials, and music videos, and I’m equally comfortable supporting set operations as I am running production equipment—like Sony camera setups and lighting rigs.
