American Film Director and, Producer
Shortly after the 2010 Haitian earthquake, Ben Patterson connected and began collaborating with Pras Michel on SWEET MICKY FOR PRESIDENT, Ben's first feature film. What was initially meant to document the post-earthquake recovery, soon became a whirlwind introduction to the world of international politics.

Ben has always wanted to make a feature film, and was immediately drawn to the story of an unlikely candidate's run for President of Haiti, how artists can change the world, and what it takes to elect a leader. Ben is excited for this timeless, "lightning in a bottle" story to be in the world. He is the founder of Onslot Creative, a New York City-based production company, where he creates, produces, and directs visual content for many high-profile brands and artists.
