Founded by filmmaker Ben Davis, Antrim Stories is a film, TV, and commercial production company that champions artists who lead with heart and whose stories open perspective. Here’s a note from Ben on the spirit of Antrim Stories:

I inherited a love of storytelling from my parents, dad’s mom Gaga Alice, and mom’s dad… my Papa. Through their lineages my ancestors are traced to Antrim County in Northern Ireland. For generations Irish seanchaí (shan-a-key) were leaders who preserved history, settled conflicts, and dispelled wisdom in their communities by creating entertainment that spoke to culture. Antrim Stories is named in honor of that tradition and my mission under this name is born from that spirit: to find and support modern seanchaí who protect hearts, open perspectives, and speak to culture though their stories.

The first film produced by Antrim Stories, The Jellyfish Man, made its World Premiere at the Seattle Independent Film Festival’s Sci-Fi & Fantasy Short Film Festival in 2023 and has gone on to be an award winning short in its festival run. Our next films, Elizabeth Sherman’s Ring by Spring and Gregory Bordelon’s Pocket Boyfriend, are currently in post-production and will be released in 2024. We’re also developing a feature-version of The Jellyfish Man as well as several other shorts and features.

As a screenwriter, Ben’s scripts have won accolades that include topping the Blcklst.com website and placing as a Nichol Fellowship semi-finalist many times over. He’s pitched movies at every Hollywood studio, has several projects in development, and is repped by Verve and REJ Entertainment. As a commercial director he’s directed spots for Netflix, McDonalds, BP Oil, Playstation, Sinclair Oil, Metro by T-Mobile, Sulzer Products, and many others.
