Benyamin Khodabandeh, is an Iranian independent filmmaker, director, and professional colorist born in 2004 in Saravan, Sistan and Baluchestan. Currently pursuing a degree in Cinema Directing at Damghan University, his work is characterized by a deep exploration of psychological boundaries, human isolation, and the distortion of reality.

Coming from a region with a rich yet overlooked cultural landscape, Benyamin’s cinematic language often bridges the gap between traditional storytelling and surrealist modernism. With over 12 independent projects under his belt—ranging from experimental shorts to psychological dramas—he has garnered significant acclaim in national festivals, including the prestigious Nahal International Student Short Film Festival.

As a "multi-hyphenate" artist, Benyamin often takes full creative control of his projects, serving as Director, Cinematographer, and Colorist. His technical expertise in DaVinci Resolve allows him to craft high-contrast, low-key visual worlds that mirror the internal conflicts of his characters.
