We believe that creativity is always the solution.
My name is Benjamín Haverla, I live in Martin, Slovakia. I studied Information and Digital Technologies at Private Secondary Technical School in Poprad founded by the Tatra Academy n. o.
I'm studying at the University of Creative Communication in Prague. I am specialized in the Design Motion Copy department which is about Animation and VFX.
I am especially interested in filmmaking. I love the most writing new stories and bringing them to the screen. I'm also doing video editing, just a little VFX and animation. I started to make films when I was 12. Later I gained success in film competitions in Slovakia. In the year 2021, I won awards for my 1. successful short film "The Last Letter".
Nowadays I can tell that patient, enthusiasm and hard work can bring you beautiful results. That's the reason why my goal is still to improve and learn from my mistakes.

"One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don't invest any energy in them, because I know who I am." – Michelle Obama
"I think goals should never be easy, they should force you to work, even if they are uncomfortable at the time." – Michael Phelps
