British Filmmaker / Writer and Producer.

Ben is an award-winning writer-director. His work encompasses character-driven narrative, social documentary for online and TV broadcast, and the lyricism of experimental filmmaking.
He has been nominated for the Cannes Film Festival's prestigious Palme D'Or (2005) for his first short film and his experimental films have been screened in dozens of international film festivals. His debut feature VERITY'S SUMMER received critical praise and a theatrical release in Summer 2013. Film magazine Littlewhitelies said it was'A compelling debut which executes a delicate yet powerful sense of cultural awareness'.

For the last ten years he has worked as a video journalist and a human rights video producer through ERA Films. Two recent global multimedia campaigns he has produced include the International Trade Union Confederation's'Qatar Exposed' and'Samsung Exposed'.

Ben is a long-time collaborator with Jan-Joseph Stok. They have worked together on different projects in East Africa and DRC over the last few years. CHE IN CONGO (2017) is the next stage in their creative collaboration.
