Wyatt Ben Bernstein is one of the most exciting maverick talents working today. He’s an award-winning filmmaker, actor-comedian, poet, obsessed Pink Floyd fan, and a poker player working well outside the mainstream.
Born on March 27,1977, his life story is like a cheap, Hollywood bio-pic waiting to be made.
After acting in several high school plays, most noteably as Van Helsing in Dracula and the
naive Jack in Into the Woods, Wyatt headed to Binghamton University where he got a B.A.
in English and minored in Experimental Film, studying with noteable avant-garde
filmmaker Ken Jacobs. He moved to New York City to pursue comedy and
independent filmmaking and has been happily broke ever since. After working
as a substitute teacher and a production assistant on commercials and low budget films, he spent three years as a travel coordinator at The Ricki Lake Show.

“It was like being stuck below Hell, at least in Hell, Led Zeppelin
is playing.”

He has performed his poetry and eccentric comedy act at New York Comedy Club,
Gotham Comedy Club, Siberia Bar, Comic Strip Live, Rev. Jen’s Anti-Slam, the Underground Lounge, and the Nuyoricans Poets Cafe.

He was an extra on SNL alongside Matt Damon and Jimmy Fallon, but sadly, was never
called back after an article was written about him in the NY Post. You can read the
article here. Wyatt took it as a sign to concentrate on filmmaking and he’s never
looked back. In November 2004, he quit his day job to attend the New York Film Academy's 12 week evening filmmaking workshop and has been on a creative bender ever since. His films have screened at NYU, New York Film Academy, Anthology Film Archives, Toronto, Canada and are currently streaming online.

He was the recipient of a cash award from the Birthright Israel Alumni Association
for the short hybrid documentary, Teasing 4 JAPOPS. You can watch it now!

He may or may not believe that being honest will get you backstabbed and that the most
successful people in this world lied their asses off to get to the top.

He's still seeking representation and may be forced to create his own agent.

He sometimes embraces anti-establishment views.

He’s been developing a semi-autobiographical “Rock n’ Roll Identity” trilogy for
the last 10 years and is currently seeking financing.
