Ben Shearn
Creative Director — Experiential, Brand & AI-Native Production
Large-scale live experiences and an AI pipeline that compresses pitch to final cut.
Take an ambitious idea, describe it precisely enough that it becomes real, and deliver something that performs.
The Vision
I've spent the last fifteen years building large-scale live experiences and brand activations — five consecutive years on Stereo Bloom preceded by two years with Upside Down House for Insomniac Records at EDC, Coachella installations with Poetic Kinetics including the 50-foot Astronaut, lighting on Justin Timberlake's "Filthy," and a Corona-branded stage at EDC that I redesigned for a second event in Denver. Earlier work includes interactive modular displays for the National Institutes of Health.
For the last two years I've been building an AI production pipeline (Runway, Kling, ElevenLabs, Nano Banana, Claude) that compresses cinematic and pitch work from weeks to hours — most recently four spec ads submitted to AI Film Festival 2026. I'm a recipient of the LMI Luminary Award and was previously a contributor to FPG / Getty Images. Based in Colorado Springs
Four spec ads. Three to six hours each, end-to-end in AI: concept, copy, casting, voice, music, motion, final cut. Submitted to Runway's AI Film Festival 2026.
