CREATORS SPOTLIGHT MARCH 2019
BEN BISANTI
Benjamin Robin Matthew Bisanti is from Montreal, Quebec, and lives in the West Island. He first joined Spectrum Productions in Summer 2017 and found an open-minded and respectful place, where he can speak his mind and feel comfortable because he’s surrounded by people who have the same passion and love for movies as he does. Ben aspires to work professionally creating media in the film industry. He enjoys acting, directing, editing, cinematography, creating 2D animation, and singing! He has created half a dozen projects at Spectrum, all centered around the original character I-Acron, who emerged as a major villain in the Spectrum Cinematic Universe in 2017. Ben’s most important projects are the two solo films about I-Acron, namely I-Acron : The Living Weapon and I-Acron: The Unforeseen Foe, Part 1.
Hi there! My name is Ben and I'm a filmmaker who joined the Spectrum Productions studio in 2017. I'm also a member of the Spectrum Cinematic Universe (SCU) crew and have appeared in films as a Villain (I-Acron) and a Mentor (Astrosatis). I currently attend the Creative Media Lab three days a week, and my productions range from live-action to stop-motion animation. I am also passionate about writing and work hard to develop my editing skills.
The parts of filmmaking that interest me most are acting and voice Acting, directing, writing and editing. I get this urge to show worlds that have stories to a whole crowd of people and getting their reactions - and plus I'm an animation geek. I just love the visuals of animated movies.
My favorite video games are the Spyro series and Mario Kart. My favourite movies include The Land before Time, Never Ending Story, and Dragonheart.
I have my own YouTube Channel with several of my own original stories and documentaries. I enjoy the YouTube Channels of Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, Pewdipie, Cinemassacre, Nostalgia Critic, Jontron and Linkara.
My hopes and dreams are to one day direct my very own animated film or TV series. I’m working very hard on developing my skills so that I can realize my creative vision and eventually work professionally in the entertainment industry.

SPECIALIZATION
I want to specialize in directing animation and voice acting because I love animated movies and hope to recreate the feeling I get when watching them in others.
I also want to develop my skills in a variety of disciplines such as Acting, Writing, Stop-motion animation, Drawing, Editing, Story Boarding and Shotlists, Photoshop, Voice-Acting, operating the Canon 7D, costume design, using Saber and creating titles in After Effects, researching and using tutorials.
HOBBIES AND PASSIONS
I like to play video games, hang out with friends on Discord, draw in Photoshop, collecting Transformers figures, and daydreaming about future stories that I’d like to tell.d
