IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Adrien Benson is an award-winning writer, director and performer. Raised in both French and English, his work uses genre filmmaking tropes to explore timely themes of family, bilingualism and national identity. In 2013, he was awarded both the writing and directing award for his comedic one-act play, Nought at the Opera, which premiered at the Glendon College Theatre Festival.

In 2014, his short film Entrain screened at more than a dozen festivals around the world and won the Clover and Maggie Award at the Cleveland International Film Festival. He is based in Toronto, where he has just completed an MFA in Film Production at York University. His thesis film, titled Daffodils, is a 20-minute screwball comedy about two estranged siblings who reconnect over the course of a robbery-gone-wrong. It is set to premiere in festivals in early 2020. Most recently, he has co-written the latest issue of Captain Canuck, titled Canuck Beyond, which is set to published by Chapterhouse Comics in May 2020.
