Carly Benner

Although born in San Francisco, Carly's entire childhood was spent in Los Angeles' West Side and South Bay areas. Reared by her mother and stepfather, she was exposed to the film industry at an early age given that her parents worked as location sound mixers and post production sound professionals. After graduating with an A.A. with honors from FIDM in LA she went on to receive a B.A. in Marketing and Communications with a minor in French from California Lutheran University. Spending much time working in LA's apparel design trade she decided to move on to the film industry; aiding her family with location sound work and eventually moving on to set costuming and assistant costume designing. Carly still resides in Los Angeles near the beach and between film jobs runs her own business personal shopping/consulting in addition to creating custom hand-sewn blankets, drapery and soft goods for the home and stylish pet gear. She also works as an animal communicator, helping owners and their pets live the happiest lives together possible. She also juggles work with her many hobbies. Carly enjoys watching Movies (of course!), English Premier League Soccer (she's an avid Manchester United supporter), is a 1/3 owner of an amateur/club racing Touring Class Sedan in which she shares driving and mechanical responsibilities, singing Karaoke whenever possible, playing with her Arabian Sighthound aka Sloughi named Audrey (after Ms. Hepburn), collecting Vinyl and CDs of many musical genres and in addition is currently training as an amateur Ice Hockey player. However, all of that could go on hold if the right film came along! Costuming is still her true passion above all.
