About Me

ShazBennett.com: Silverlake, CA, United States; I'm a writer, filmmaker, performer, storyteller, commedienne, film programmer. My films and performances pieces have been shown all over the US, Mexico, Canada and in Europe in film festivals, theatres, museums and abandoned warehouses. For the past 10 years I've been directing Programming at AFI FEST in Los Angeles. I've worked at the LA Film Festival, San Francisco Film Festival, Monaco International Emerging Talent Film Festival and the Sundance Institute. I've consulted and been on juries and panels for festivals around the US, Mexico, Canada, South Africa, Burkina Faso, Sweden, France, and Denmark. I watch 1000's of movies a year so I need to get out more. I live in Silverlake, CA with my filmmaker/DJ better half and our cat. We curate a night of film, spoken word and music at the Echo Park Film Center called "A Shot and A Beer" and perform a lot send me your email and I'll add you to the list. I write most of all.
