Rae Benjamin
CEO + Founder

Rae is a writer on THE WITCHER (Netflix) and served as co-writer and co-executive producer for THE WITCHER: SIRENS OF THE DEEP, an animated feature on Netflix which debuted in early 2025. She is repped at UTA. She decided to transition into screenwriting after a career in graphic design. She was frustrated with the absence of transparency about how the entertainment industry works. Most jobs are unlisted, training is basically non-existent, and people don’t know where to begin. Even worse, misinformation is spread at an alarming rate. People easily take advantage of those with limited knowledge by charging for unhelpful advice and courses. For the Black community and other groups who have been historically shut out by traditional Hollywood “gatekeepers,” it can be even more difficult to build a network and learn vital information. Rae created In the Cut to help bridge the knowledge gap and spread information.

In January 2020, the ITC has produced almost 200 events and our community has grown to more than 12,000 artists across the globe. Through research and experience, ITC has created a space where you can learn from real, industry professionals and receive actionable, thoughtful advice on how to advance your career.
