After studying Cinema and Comparative Literature and Creative Writing at The University of Iowa (2004-2007), Benjamin moved to Chicago and became a Freelance Staff Writer for Centerstage Chicago, the Sun-Times entertainment website (2007-2008), specializing in food, restaurant, venue, dating, night-life, and city guide-writing, usually of the satirical variety. He also occasionally wrote for the Chicago Sun-Times weekend paper, not unlike famous film critic Roger Ebert. The key difference being, Roger Ebert made significant amounts of money, and Benjamin did not. In fall 2008, Benjamin moved to New York City to attend the Creative Writing Program (MFA) at The New School before becoming an Editorial: Proofreading Intern at Marvel Entertainment (2009). After graduating from The New School (May 2010), he became a Freelance Synopsis Writer at Marvel (2010/2011) and a Freelance Writer/Editer for Godiva Chocolatier (2010/2011). Currently, he's a Freelance News and Feature Writer at Screen Rant (the premier TV and movie news website). Email him if you're interested in his invaluable freelance writing services. In December 2011, Benjamin created a Batman infographic for Screen Rant that depicted "every single (significant) bat-suit" since the Caped Crusader's debut in 1939, which was featured on io9, Comics Alliance, Huffington Post, Buzz Feed, iFanboy, Film Drunk, Geeks of Doom, Film School Rejects, Major Spoilers, MTV Geek's Tumblr, and more.
