From a young age, I was captivated by the magic of storytelling on screen. Growing up, I spent countless hours with my mother, writing and acting out short scripts. What began as a childhood fascination soon evolved into a lifelong passion for film and television. This passion guided me through my formative years and into a dedicated career in the industry.

I pursued my formal education at Southern Arkansas University Tech in Camden, Arkansas, where I studied film and television production under the mentorship of Steve Taylor. Steve’s approach was unconventional yet invaluable—he emphasized learning the craft outside of the classroom. my final semester, I had spent just six days in a traditional classroom setting; the rest of my time was devoted to hands-on experience on various TV and film sets, where I learned not only from successes but from mistakes as well.

Just a week after graduating high school, I landed my first role in the industry as a production assistant on TLC's "Toddlers & Tiaras," thanks to Steve Taylor’s network of contacts. This early exposure to the fast-paced world of television production ignited a fire in me to continue growing and expanding my skill set.

After college, I joined JM Associates in Little Rock, Arkansas, where I worked as a videographer, field producer, and editor. This role allowed me to explore different facets of television production, giving me a well-rounded foundation in the industry. However, as time passed, I felt the need for a new challenge and relocated to Bentonville, Arkansas, to take up a video directing position at Walmart Headquarters. While the role was rewarding, I found myself missing the diversity of projects that had initially drawn me to the industry—commercials, TV shows, and more.

During my time at Walmart, I began freelancing on the side, investing every dollar I earned into building a collection of high-quality camera gear. I slowly accumulated everything from cameras and lights to drones and gimbals. When I reached the point where I had both the equipment and the client base to support my ambitions, I knew it was time to take the leap. That’s when Benjamin Oliver Films LLC was born.

From day one, my vision for Benjamin Oliver Films has been clear: to create captivating content that resonates with audiences across various platforms. Whether it’s commercial production, television, or corporate videos, my goal has always been to deliver top-tier work while maintaining a close, personable relationship with each of our clients.

We have a full grip & electric truck, top-of-the-line cinematic cameras, an array of FPV drones, DJI standard drones, gimbals, and more.
