Elias Rice Bensch

Elias’ journey in film began in the theaters. He spent much of his childhood at the cinema and fell in love with the stories, producing documentaries and short films. When he arrived at the University of Arizona, he took a film class as an elective and he immediately became enamored with learning as much as he possibly could about filmmaking. Since then he has directed, shot, and produced multiple short films such as Feathers of Uncertainty, TURNT, and Action Man. His goal in life is to tell stories that put a smile on people’s faces.
