Thomas Benski, CEO and co-founder of Pulse Films, is a BAFTA and Grammy nominated producer of feature films, television, branded entertainment and interactive projects. He is responsible for Pulse's worldwide creative and strategic development, working closely with all divisions across the company's entire output.
Pulse's film division began by redefining a genre: giving documentaries like the seminal LCD Soundsystem film Shut Up and Play the Hits a cinematic edge that opened them up to new audiences. Nick Cave documentary 20,000 Days on Earth won two Sundance awards and a BAFTA nomination. Who is Dayani Cristal? won another Sundance. Blur's No Distance left to Run was Grammy nominated. Katy Perry - Part of Me 3D was the fourth highest-grossing music documentary of all time. Other credits include The Possibilities Are Endless which received its world premiere at SXSW and was officially selected at London Film Festival.
Pulse's television department has developed and produced numerous successful formats - both scripted and non-scripted - for the world's leading broadcasters. Pulse created the internationally acclaimed When Björk Met Attenborough (Channel 4), Sleeping with the Family (MTV International), social media hit PAYDAY (Channel 4), and The Cruise Ship (ITV1) - which was viewed by an audience of over 4 million.
