Ben Weinstein is a comedy commercial and content director and owner of New York production company Two Nineteen Inc. He is associated in the U.S. with Quriosity, which has featured his Land O’Frost “Generous AI” spot (agency Merge). SHOTS has described him as an experienced comedy director with deep improv roots: after working as cinematographer on Wet Hot American Summer he trained as a performer at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, and he frames directing as improv—from casting callbacks through on-set riffing and edit rhythm changes. His Extreme Reach “Beware the Air Quotes!” mockumentary B2B series (produced through Two Nineteen with DP Andy Lilien; co-writer Cedric Giese) planted absurd office premises inside a believable workplace using NYC improv talent and earned 2020 dotCOMM Platinum awards for Marketing and Short Form plus Videographer Awards Excellence honors. Other documented brand work includes The Lion’s Den “Rub-A-Dub” (2019, agency Fancy; Weinstein director/editor), Baton Rouge General’s “We Get You. Healthier.” (2017), and Dominion Energy BrightSuite calming/#oddlysatisfying films for Familiar Creatures. Parallel credits include Alternatino, UCB Comedy Originals, and Above Average Presents. Two Nineteen’s roster emphasizes directors with improv-stage backgrounds.
