Illustrated Magazine on Film Debuts

A mutual love for movies paired with the desire to see more creative editorial expression, spurred these two friends, Gabriel Solomons and Phil Wrigglesworth, to create Beneficial Shock!, inspired by—and dedicated to—unconventional cinematic adventures.

Beneficial Shock! is a new bi-annual magazine for film lovers and design enthusiasts with accompanying screen-based motion features that will champion progressive thinking from contemporary illustrators, graphic designers and photographers. Rather than your standard film magazine full of reviews, celebrity news and press images, Beneficial Shock! aims to use illustration, visual documentation and design.

Each thematic issue will explore a chosen topic looking at its relationship to film in surprising and often unconventional ways.
