that feeling you get while speaking fluent gibberish. It's the part of you that loves sitting by a fire with fellows laughing about life. That's Dumb Owl and that's what Dumb Owl aims to create, stories that uplift and inspire our imaginations, fill our minds with wonder and fill our hearts.

​

Discovered in 2013 by Ben Goldsmith and Leah Kilpatrick, Dumb Owl began with a 6 episode musical mini-series called  "Higgary Dunks and the 3 Bears" created by Ben Goldsmith. Then Ben and Leah created "Lovers United" - a love story about two Millenial YouTubers who hate each others guts. 

​

One year later, they made a follow up series to "Lovers United" called "Lovers Divided", a 6 episode mini-series that was nominated for "Best Indie Series" at the 2018 STREAMY Awards. 

​

With over 942 videos produced, Dumb Owl continues to develop award winning comedic scripted storytelling.

​

In 2020 Ben Goldsmith and Dumb Owl won a Bronze Telly Award for best online documentary series "Venice Beach Originals". Then in 2024 Dumb Owl and Ben Goldsmith and Michael Gantz won a Silver Telly Award for their Online Scripted series "MIKE&BEN The Fall 2023". 

​

Ben Goldsmith and comedy partner Michael Gantz have now released their first 1 hour comedy special "Moist Waffle" and have made a "Best Comedy" LAFA award winning musical dark comedy film "The Comedy Duo". Both of which can be available for purchase here:

 

Dumb Owl plans on continuing to create original scripted comedy video series as well as our slate of feature films.
