Benn is also a founding member of BBMC and its MP3 weekly web show. He has produced a handful of video motion pictures and written several stageplays. His favorite moment in front of an audience was the final performance of his play ’24 Hours and Something Original,’ where the show’s cast invited him on stage to say a few closing words.
“It was a very special night for many reasons,” he said. “That was the cast’s best performance. A nearly packed house filled with people who were very responsive. I was glowing, I’m sure.”
Benn said he enjoys podcasting because of its expression and the online community it has created among other podcasters. He feels Brian and Benn’s MP3 Movie Talk Show strives to speak to guys like him, who are tired of spending nearly $10 a shot on movies that simply aren’t worth it.
If the BBMC MP3 show was made into a biopic, Benn feels Will Sasso of TV’s ‘Mad Tv’ would play his part. His favorite movie is ‘Schindler’s List,’ while his least favorite is ‘Titanic,’ If his life was made into a biopic, he thinks it would be a mockumentary. He would like to work with Mike Nichols one day.
“Podcasting is one place where ANYONE can be a producer, which is awesome,” Benn said. “However, only the decent shows that stick around. We’ve been around a lot longer than most shows at our level, and I think it’s cause we’re delivering a high quality product.”
