Team

We wake up every morning intent to find the best shot, the best cut, or the best piece of music. We truly love what we get to do and the diverse group of clients that we get to work with.

 
 

Benjamin Eckstein

Founder | Director

Benjamin founded Beryllium Pictures in 2006 and has worked in production for over 20 years. After entering college planning to become a geologist, he quickly changed paths after realizing geology is science and not simply hiking and looking at rocks. The failed geologist switched to a career much more suited for his love of being behind a camera. While incredibly passionate about the entire filmmaking process, Benjamin’s true passion is the relationships that are built through turning clients into partners, creating long lasting relationships that evolve over time. Outside of the office, he can be found running, mountain-biking, or parenting his 3 children.

Brandon Vincent

Director of Photography

Calling Brandon an expert of filmmaking gear and technology wouldn’t be doing him justice. Taking a TV production class in high school that piqued both his creative and tech interests transformed Brandon into who he is today, a filmmaker with years of experience under his belt as both a freelancer and as part of a team. Outside of filmmaking, Brandon enjoys spending his time golfing at various courses all over Massachusetts.

Adrianne Crane

Post Production Supervisor | Senior Editor

Like many young filmmakers, Adrianne dreamed of becoming a writer and director when she entered Emerson College, but during the editing process of her senior year thesis project, she found a new love. An incredibly experienced editor who has worked in both Massachusetts and Texas, Adrianne’s passion and drive translates to everything she does, whether that be her love for horseback-riding or aviation, as she’s an avid fan of plane-spotting and plans to get her private pilot license.

Laura Molta Grant-Hunter

Senior Producer

Tim Lewis

Senior Editor

Tim is an award-winning video producer and editor from Pembroke, MA. His passion for production began at age 10 with his own cable access show, Where in the Town is Mister Travels? As an Emerson College graduate, Tim strives to bring innovation and creativity to everything he works on, and he is the go-to person for H.264 codec best practices and ideal cold brewing consumption. In his spare time, Tim enjoys dogspotting, growing his YouTube channel, and traveling to new countries on his ever-expanding list.

Tristan Crane

Editor

Music being his first love, Tristan spent his high school and early college days playing in bands, growing his passion for audio. After moving to Boston to study audio production and recording, he became fascinated with post production audio. After years working in this field, Tristan joined Beryllium intrigued by the idea of trying something new, and excited to make expertly produced products that stem from careful collaboration. Though Tristan has a wide skill set when it comes to editing, audio is still where his expertise and love lies. His love for music hasn’t died either, as he often spends his time playing and modifying guitars.

 

Nola Pikalova

Editor

After growing up in Ukraine, Nola moved to the US to pursue her passion for communications. She aspires to form connections and build common ground between people, something visual communication allows for. While Nola has extensive experience in all aspects of filmmaking, she joined Beryllium as an editor to be a part of a collaborative team that is constantly learning from each other. When not growing as both a filmmaker and as a person through the lens of a camera, Nola is immersing herself in all of the places, people, and languages the world has to offer.

Everett Gilpin

Production Specialist

He was born, raised, and has been living in Boston since he graduated from Emerson College in 2020. After graduating college and before joining the Beryllium team in 2023, Everett worked as a production assistant on films such as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, The Tender Bar, and The Holdovers in addition to working in an equipment warehouse where he gained extensive knowledge on gear. Calling Everett a movie fanatic would be an understatement, and when he’s not binging movie after movie he can be found reading a book or spending time with his family, friends, girlfriend, and 2 cats.
