Blending cinematic sensibilities with profound human connections, Ben’s award-winning work spans commercials, short films, and photography projects.

His portfolio oscillates between visually striking productions featuring A-list talent like Rose Byrne and Gal Gadot, and socially conscious, emotional narratives that capture the authentic experiences of real people.

Ben’s commercial work has garnered substantial industry praise, winning Cannes Silver Lions, Gold at the Epica Awards, the Grand Prix at the European Cristal Festival, and TV Campaign of the Year at the B&T Awards, alongside numerous D&AD and AWARD Pencils, Clio’s and Spikes. His distinct narrative projects have been celebrated globally, screening at SXSW, BFI London Film Festival, Palm Springs Film Festival, Raindance, Hammer Museum, and Nowness. In addition to receiving half a dozen Vimeo Staff Picks and being voted Best Narrative Film on the platform, he was named Best New Filmmaker by the Melbourne International Film Festival.
