Benito Sinclair is a Chicago-based director, producer and former music supervisor, originally from the California coast.
His feature documentary Movement, now in production, follows the history and repeal of New York City’s Cabaret Law, including the reforms that followed and the fight that continues today.
Benito’s creative home is Sight Lines Visual, releasing documentaries, music — and documentaries about music. At the collision of sound and culture, SLV is “visual documentary for an auditory world.”
As a producer, Benito has developed and released documentaries including Ali’s Story, Loose Ends, Robin’s Wish, Fireline and The United States of Detroit, with music supervision and soundtrack work across several of those films.
His strengths lie in working with creatives on a unified product vision and refining the work while meeting a schedule for release, often moving between planning, feedback and production.
While skilled in the art of whiteboarding, he does prefer shooting footage and conducting interviews with a team to sitting behind a desk.
Published by Cambridge and elsewhere, Benito has programmed and written for major products and initiatives at Apple, Beats, Pandora, MOG and dublab. His music-only podcast Sound Contours can be enjoyed here.
