He has over 15 years of experience in the Australian Advertising Industry, working locally in Sydney and Brisbane.

He directed his first short film at age 12 called ‘Sharks, Lies and Videotape’ (Soderbergh, please don’t sue); thankfully VHS is extinct. He directed his first theatre production at 16. From there, he produced or directed countless theatre productions and a handful of short films by the time he was 23.

After finishing his tertiary education in Film, Ben moved into the advertising industry, initially as Production Manager and then transitioning to Producer. During his time at a Tabletop production company, Ben learnt about the mysterious witchcraft that is food shooting and ultimately started directing. Whilst initially watching a hot drink being stirred with a toothpick for 10 minutes without noticing any discernible difference, today he could probably espouse every reason why you need to stir it until friction sparks fly!

He is a professional, collaborative, hard working production partner who goes above and beyond to deliver. He is an intelligent, ethical and trustworthy team player who is respectful to the various Directors and Producers he collaborates with.

Ultimately, he is interested in storytelling with stunning imagery that is evocative, cinematic and sensory.

In his spare time, he explores photography with a keen interest in landscapes, portraits and macro photography as well as being an avid film geek!
