Ben Model
Ben Model is a talented pianist who travels the world accompanying silent movies\u2026but that\u2019s just the tip of the iceberg. He\u2019s a good guy who wears many hats: historian, proselytizer, promoter, preservationist, teacher, and distributor, to name just a few. He blew Leonard and Jessie\u2019s minds when he unveiled his research about variable running times for silent films and proved how Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and others used the hand-cranking of the camera to their benefit.
