Ned Benson

As a writer-director, Ned masterfully demonstrates that the most intimate and personal stories can also be conveyed in grand, cinematic fashion.

From the Marvel blockbuster "Black Widow," where Scarlett Johansson's superhero reconnects with her estranged adoptive family, to the poignant narrative of "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby," featuring Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy as a couple struggling to stay together, Ned's storytelling is consistently vivid and impactful.

Ned's recent work includes directing "The Greatest Hits," which premiered at SXSW. This film explores themes of unconditional love and the powerful connection between music and memory, showing how songs can–quite literally– transport us through space and time. His upcoming Netflix film, "Monsanto," is based on the true story of attorney Brent Wisner, who took on a formidable case against a major U.S. chemical company. The film stars Glen Powell, Anthony Mackie, and Laura Dern.

As a commercial director, Ned's unique talent for blending innovative visuals with deep emotional experiences is evident across his many campaigns. His work for Cadillac celebrates the brand's identity, history, and integrity, capturing what it means to sit behind the wheel of the brand’s automobiles. Additionally, Ned has directed campaigns for Infiniti, featuring NBA star Steph Curry, and contributed to the Creative Spirit program.
