Founder / Executive Producer / Director
Ben Giroux
Founded in 2012 by actor/director Ben Giroux, Small Red Cape began as a personal production banner and grew into a full-service creative studio known for big laughs, bold visuals, and global reach.
Giroux began his career as an actor, appearing in more than 100 episodes of television to date. Years in front of the camera—along with Groundlings improv training and a Nickelodeon director apprenticeship—formed a distinct director's point of view: he understands how actors and improvisors work, how crews support them, and how to protect both performance and schedule.
That perspective is especially valuable when a project depends on recognizable talent. Giroux has significant experience directing celebrities and collaborating with high-profile performers on set, including J.K. Simmons, Vanilla Ice, and Cheryl Hines. He builds performance-first sets with grounded comedy and insane practical visuals with tight collaboration across every department on site, where the "yes and" spirit of improv forms the heartbeat of every project.

A note from Ben
It started with a small red cape.
I grew up in my family's comic-book store in Phoenix, Arizona—surrounded by superheroes on the page and off. Comedy and creativity was the heartbeat of my childhood. Wearing Superman pajamas with a small red cape, I imagined soaring toward a life filled with storytelling, collaboration with friends, and making impossible visuals real.
That impulse eventually brought me to Los Angeles and launched what Small Red Cape has become today: a nimble production company built on hustle, big dreams, and deep friendships. The same spirit shapes how I direct: grounded comedy, room to play, and ambitious visual ideas built with craft, kindness, and endless curiosity.
Make stuff. Always.
