Career

The Believer was awarded the dramatic Grand Jury Prize at the 2001 Sundance Festival; the Golden St. George at the 23rd Moscow International Film Festival.;[6] and Bean was named a "Breakthrough Director" at the Gotham Independent Film Awards in 2001.

Bean was the inspiration for the protagonist of Noise.[7] He was so tired of constant noise around him and his home in New York City that he decided to take the law into his own hands. If a car alarm was going off and the owner of the vehicle didn't rectify the situation, Bean would break into the car to disable the offending car alarm. Bean was eventually arrested and jailed. He admits to doing it a few more times since.[8]

Bean was a co-writer on two episodes in the second season of The OA.
