Bennett Miller is a two-time Academy Award-nominated director working with SMUGGLER, known for meticulous character-driven storytelling across narrative features, commercials, and documentary work. His narrative films—Capote (2005), Moneyball (2011), and Foxcatcher (2014)—earned 16 total Oscar nominations and a Best Director prize at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, with six actors receiving Academy Award nominations under his direction, including Philip Seymour Hoffman's Best Actor win for Capote. Miller's commercial portfolio spans iconic brand campaigns for Mastercard's "Priceless" series and American Express, alongside award-winning work for Quilted Northern (via Droga5), De'Longhi, and AT&T. His observational documentary The Cruise (1998) pioneered digital-video theatrical distribution. Miller has also directed music videos for Bob Dylan ("When the Deal Goes Down" starring Scarlett Johansson) and Scarlett Johansson ("Falling Down" featuring Salman Rushdie). His austere visual style—influenced by Kubrick, Bresson, and the Maysles brothers—emphasizes psychological depth and restrained observation. Since 2023, Miller has exhibited AI-generated photographic art at Gagosian galleries in New York, Los Angeles, and Paris, exploring philosophical questions about perception, authorship, and reality through early access to OpenAI's DALL·E. working with CAA, Miller continues to bridge technological innovation with artistic inquiry across multiple mediums.
