She was most recently seen starring alongside Alfie Allen in <em>McVeigh<\/em>, an indie drama based on the true story of Oklahoma City Bombing perpetrator Timothy McVeigh, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She recently wrapped production on the independent feature <em>Pretty Babies<\/em>, which she also produced alongside Christine Vachon with Killer Films and Jordan Wagner. The film, which also stars <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/madelaine-petsch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madelaine Petsch<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/emily-alyn-lind\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Emily Alyn Lind<\/a>, is expected to hit the festival circuit later in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best known for her breakout role on Freeform&#8217;s <em>Pretty Little Liars<\/em>, which ran for seven seasons, Benson&#8217;s other credits include Harmony Korine&#8217;s <em>Spring Breakers<\/em> for A24, the Amazon series <em>Wilderness<\/em>, and <em>Mob Land<\/em> alongside John Travolta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strand Entertainment was founded by <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/managers\/jeff-golenberg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jeff Golenberg<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/managers\/jason-shapiro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jason Shapiro<\/a> and has quickly built a strong roster of both established and emerging talent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This signing reflects a broader trend of actresses making high-profile management, including moves like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/georgia-may-signs-with-off-limits-group-for-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Georgia May signing with Off Limits Group for management<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/fola-evans-akingbola-signs-with-range-media-partners-for-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fola Evans-Akingbola inking with Range Media Partners<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Benson joining Strand Entertainment is a clear signal that she&#8217;s stepping into a new gear. With two films in the pipeline, one already festival-ready and one she produced herself, the timing of adding a power management company like Strand is no coincidence. It suggests a deliberate push to expand her profile from recognizable TV actress to serious indie film force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact that she retains IAG, Dulcedo Management, and Viewpoint while adding Strand also shows that this isn&#8217;t a change of direction, it&#8217;s an acceleration. The multi-management setup is increasingly common for actors looking to grow across both performance and production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will Benson&#8217;s producing credit on <em>Pretty Babies<\/em> open doors to more behind-the-scenes roles and could Strand help shepherd those opportunities? Strand Entertainment has a rising roster of indie-leaning talent \u2014 what does Benson&#8217;s signing tell us about the firm&#8217;s long-term strategy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrity Name: Ashley Benson New Company: Strand Entertainment Primary Manager: Tarik Kanafani Department: Management Territory: United States Ashley Benson has signed with Strand Entertainment for management.
