THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE LENS
Founders
Waypoint Narrative was built on two distinct perspectives: a deep understanding of tourism, hospitality, and the guest experience, combined with decades of experience in business, communication, and visual storytelling. Together, those perspectives shape how we capture destinations, experiences, and brands in ways that connect with the people they want to reach.

CO-FOUNDER
KENZO
Born in Botswana, Southern Africa, and a proud U.S. citizen, Kenzo brings a rich blend of culture, diversity, hospitality, travel, and global experience to Waypoint Narrative.
Kenzo holds professional training and certifications in Hospitality and International Travel and Tourism from The City & Guilds of London Institute. With more than three decades of experience, she has worked across the hospitality and travel industries with Disney Resorts, Hilton, Marriott, IHG, and many more, including valuable cruise line experience with a major cruise line.
Her career has given her a deep understanding of guest service, travel, and what makes an experience truly memorable.

CO-FOUNDER
BENJAMIN
With more than two decades of experience in corporate sales and sales leadership, Benjamin brings far more than creative ability to Waypoint Narrative. He understands business, communication, decision making, and what ultimately moves people from interest to action. That commercial mindset shapes the way he approaches every production: not simply as a filmmaker creating beautiful imagery, but as a strategic partner focused on producing work that serves a clear purpose for the brand behind it.
Driven by an insatiable curiosity for technology, filmmaking, and storytelling, Benjamin has developed a multidisciplinary skill set spanning cinematography, aerial production, editing, sound engineering, color, and post production. As an F.A.A. Part 107 certified drone pilot and hands-on creative, he is equally comfortable developing the vision for a project, capturing it in the field, and shaping every detail through the final edit.
What distinguishes Benjamin is his ability to bridge the worlds of business strategy and creative execution. He understands how brands need to communicate, how audiences experience a story, and how strong visual storytelling can influence perception, build desire, and move travelers closer to taking action. His approach is built around a simple standard: every frame should earn its place. The goal is not merely to create something beautiful to watch, but to create polished, intentional, commercially valuable work that makes the destination, property, experience, or brand impossible to overlook.
OUR SHARED BELIEF
Built on a shared conviction that place has the power to transform.
As a married couple, we founded Waypoint Narrative to close the distance between remarkable destinations and the people who have yet to experience them, creating films that turn curiosity into connection and places into experiences people want to discover.
Before founding Waypoint Narrative, Kenzo and Ben built "Explore with Kenzo and Ben", a travel media brand creating content across the global travel and tourism industry. Their work spans destinations, airlines, cruise lines, hotels, resorts, attractions, dining, transportation, tours, experiences, and the brands that help shape how people travel.
Through years of creating for real audiences and collaborating with travel and hospitality brands, they developed a firsthand understanding of what captures attention, builds interest, and inspires people to experience a destination for themselves. That perspective continues to shape the way Waypoint Narrative approaches travel storytelling today.
