Material that is a good fit for streaming or premium cable. Upscale or “elevated” material specifically, but I'm also open to material with a broader, or more commercial, sensibility as well. I'm fairly agnostic to genre and format; though in regard to genre projects I tend to gravitate towards more grounded stories as opposed to stories with heightened genre or overt supernatural elements.
Ben is a development executive at Roadside Attractions, a Los Angeles-based production company and film distributor (EMILY THE CRIMINAL, JUDY, THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON). He was raised in the suburbs of Washington, DC, where his early exposure to the world of political drama taught the value of a good narrative. After graduating from Syracuse University, he began his career in the Gersh Agency mailroom before transitioning to television development at FX. There, he worked on such critical and commercial hits as SHOGUN, UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN, THE PATIENT, MURDER AT THE END OF THE WORLD, and the upcoming comedy SNOWFLAKES. He's a fan of all things genre, from high fantasy to gritty noire, but most of all loves singular characters with unexpected points of view on the world.
