Francisco “Benjie” Torres

👋 Who I Am

I’m Benjie Torres, a video editor and social media manager. My journey started far from the camera—I began as a dishwasher, worked my way up to executive chef, and built a career turning raw ingredients into unforgettable dishes. That same drive, discipline, and creativity now fuel my work in the digital world, where I craft visuals, sounds, and stories that connect with people.

🎬 What I Do

Today, I specialize in:

  • Video Editing & Production – From YouTube series to branded content, I bring ideas to life with rhythm, style, and precision.

  • Social Media Management – Building communities, growing engagement, and creating strategies that feel authentic.

  • Creative Projects – From food videos to sports content, music videos and more, I love blending culture, entertainment, and storytelling.

  • Chef - overseeing all aspects of a kitchen, from menu creation and ingredient sourcing to food preparation and presentation, ensuring high-quality dishes and strict adherence to health and safety standards.

🌎 My Mission

At the core, my mission is to create content that feels alive. I believe every project—whether a video, a campaign, or a creative idea—should entertain, inspire, and connect. My work is deeply rooted in my Puerto Rican heritage, my culinary past, and my passion for gaming and media, giving me a unique voice that blends culture with creativity.
