Director Biography - Stephanie Bencin
Stephanie Bencin has lived a double life as a comedy writer on house teams at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and as an Archival Producer on award winning documentary films and series (Including the Tribeca premiere The Captain and Sam Pollard’s Black Art: In the Absence of Light), allowing her to engage with storytelling from many different angles. She married both dark comedy and social issues in my suburban thriller Safe Space, which was a Nicholl Semifinalist. Additionally, her writing has appeared in Vulture, McSweeneys, and was twice an official artist at New York Television Festival along with a finalist for the WGA East Made In New York Fellowship. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and daughter.
