About Me

Hiya Friends!I'm Greg Benson, a short film filmmaker in Los Angeles. I make comedy shorts because, hey, you gotta do something. I've made about 20 shorts so far, most have played in festivals and many have won awards. (Woo-hoo!) I'm now preparing to shoot my first feature film (wanna loan me $8 million?), but I'll continue to make shorts as well.I'm also available for hire (I write, shoot, direct & edit myself!), and you can see two 60-second shorts I directed for 20th Century Fox at my website, MediocreFilms.com !Wanna help spread the word? Then please tell your friends about my films and join my free video podcast at iTunes (rated in the Top 100 Comedy Podcasts!) and leave a review there. There are exclusive shorts in the podcast (including "Swappin' Heads" with Adam Arkin), and lots more to come!I'll be sharing 3 or 4 shorts at a time on this page, so please check 'em out and let me know what you think! C'mon, I said please.HOORAY FOR FREE ENTERTAINMENT! TAKE YOUR PANTS OFF!Greg

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other filmmakers, musicians, artists... Anyone who would like to volunteer to be crew members for shoots (I always need gaffers, grips, boom operators, etc. -- the shoots are quick and fun)... And of course, anyone interested in helping to distribute or finance shorts... Most of all, anyone who loves funny films!Subscribe to Mediocre Films @ YouTube!Click below to visit the official website and see more funny crap.STREAMING FLASH VIDEO FROM YOUTUBE NOW AVAILABLE!
