BEN’s STORY : COMING SOON

Ben learned his skills from many of the top directors and DoP’s in the 80’s as a movie and TV actor. Always fascinated with how a film was made he would pester the Director of Photography’s about their techniques and problem solving.  Since 1994 he has worked as a ‘DoP’ on feature dramas, music documentaries and commercials for the large or small screen. His talents have now extended to include that of director, making beautiful soul searching films.

His work has contributed to many award winning films … The Grammy’s, Acapulco film festival, the Huston Film festival and London DVD awards, LA’s Scare-fest and British Independent Film Awards International Independent Film Awards in LA in 2017, to name but a few.
