Benjamin Green

Hi there. You have just landed on Benjamin Green’s website. Thank you for stopping by.

The world is crawling with Benjamin Greens. This particular Benjamin Green has been writing poetry, short stories, essays and screenplays ever since his fictional narrative piece, “The Elf in My Lunchbox” granted him immeasurable praise and adulation among his fourth grade peers. In an effort to reclaim the titillating, postcoital release of oxytocin that envelopes a writer when typing, “FADE OUT” or “THE END,” Benjamin locked himself in a room for so long he was one shade away from translucent when he emerged with a completed screenplay in hand. It was his first feature-length screenplay and went on to place in the top 10% of the 2010 Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting competition.

Regardless of barometric circumstances, Benjamin writes every day. Whether he captures the hilarity of character interactions that live in his head or reviews peer projects in the screenwriting workshop he has the honor to be part of (known as 5150 and founded by the prolific screenwriter and instructor, Max Adams), he writes something.

To develop his writing (and thicker skin), Benjamin has participated in 5150 for more than two years. He has taken screenwriting courses through UCLA with  Ernie Contreras and has earned his Certificate of Completion through The Academy of Film Writing.

In addition to writing, Benjamin plays guitar, refuses coffee that was not roasted by Stumptown and prepared in a chemex carafe, always welcomes a good fist fight, possibly suffers from a branch of obsessive-compulsive disorders known as misophonia, and abhors turning left. He also does Voice-Over work. {CLICK for a sample}
