Director's Bio
French self-taught filmmaker, Benjamin Lapierre has always been attracted by material minimalism and creative maximalism.
As he likes to say, “a writer only needs a paper and a pen, a painter only needs a brush, paint and canvas, so I should be able to be a videographer with just a smartphone”.
With just his iPhone, Benjamin can fully accomplish what he wants: have minimal equipment and still achieve what he imagines.
But what he loves most of all, is telling stories, making short films. And regularly on his YouTube channel, he offers films accompanied by making-of where he shows the tricks he uses to produce films that, at first glance, would not be feasible with such a small material.
