Michael Beneville (New York) is a familiar face to many of our members, as the co-founder of Beneville Studios, which hosts Forum breakfasts so brilliantly. An artist, storyteller and futurist, Michael talks to Jessica about his childhood inspirations, LA vs NY, how to ‘step into the shoes of your worth’ and growing a business that has no template. Beneville Studios today has created a wide range of innovative design, from the Empire State Building Experience to Area 15 in Las Vegas.

‘It takes a long time to climb up through the creative ranks and maintain whatever it is that you wanted to do. That’s a long road. Arguably, it takes thirty, forty years to even have something to say that isn’t derivative of everything else.’
