Shortfundly Desk · Worldwide ·
Black Bear's President of U.S. Distribution Benjamin Kramer is exiting the company after just 15 months in the role. Kramer joined the firm in 2025 after spending eight years co-running CAA's Media Finance division.
His departure comes sooner than expected following his hiring to spearhead Black Bear's newly launched theatrical distribution operation. The move marks a quick turnover for a leadership position created to expand the company's domestic distribution footprint.
Black Bear has not yet announced a successor for the role. The company continues to handle distribution for its slate of feature films and television projects across multiple platforms.
This brief draws on reporting from Deadline.
