Growing up in a small, rural part of Louisiana, Benjamin Connell became fascinated with the prospect of filmmaking. His intrigue grew as he began to study how certain images could make him feel particular emotions. The power of cinema was unmistakable. 

​

After receiving his degree in Film, Theater, and Communications from the University of New Orleans, Benjamin set out to do what he always wanted to do: tell stories. 

Over the years, he has written, directed, and produced various films spanning a wide variety of genres, and has garnered national and global recognition. 

In 2019, Benjamin  founded this company, Daylight Media, and has since been utilizing his skills and award-winning creativity in video production to help share the stories of so many artists, business owners, and ordinary people alike.

“My goal, no matter the project, is to make the audience feel a particular emotion. I am selling a story with a spirit, not merely just pictures that move.”- Benjamin L. Connell
