Kriman Benbella

Founder & Creative Director at The Planet Entertainment

Speaker

Kriman Benbella is a creative entrepreneur, producer and Founder of The Planet Entertainment, a Dubai-based entertainment and production company with an expanding international presence and an established footprint in Dubai and Macao.With a passion for performance, cinema and storytelling, Kriman has built his career around one belief: live entertainment should be more than a show, it should become an experience people remember.

His creative foundation comes from Hip-Hop culture. Early in his career, he spent time in Los Angeles developing his craft within the professional dance scene, training alongside leading B-boys and dancers who had performed and worked with global artists including Madonna, Janet Jackson, Gwen Stefani, Avril Lavigne and Justin Bieber.

Los Angeles also expanded his creative world beyond dance.

Kriman went on to study acting at the prestigious Stella Adler Academy of Acting in Hollywood, developing a deeper understanding of character, emotion, performance and storytelling. Combined with his background in movement and music, this experience helped shape the creative language that would later influence his work as a producer.

His transition from performer to producer developed naturally over time. Following his participation in Arab’s Got Talent, where he led his team through the competition and reached the finals, Dubai became an important new chapter in his professional journey.A few years later, Kriman founded The Planet Entertainment, bringing together his experience across performance, entertainment and storytelling into a production vision of his own.

Today, The Planet Entertainment works across large-scale productions, film premieres, immersive entertainment, hospitality, brand activations and pop culture, collaborating with major movie studios, distributors, international brands and leading entertainment venues.

Kriman approaches every project through a cinematic lens—bringing together movement, music, visual identity, performance, storytelling and atmosphere to transform ordinary spaces into immersive worlds.His ambition is to continue developing The Planet Entertainment into a major international production company with the scale, imagination and storytelling power of cinema, designed for the live world.

With Dubai as its base and an established presence in Macao, The Planet Entertainment is now expanding further into Asia, building new relationships, exploring new markets and developing a wider international production network across the region.For Kriman, the next chapter is not simply about becoming bigger, it is about creating stronger ideas, building meaningful cultural connections and continuing to push what live entertainment can become.
