Hi I’m Ben, a Melbourne based commercial director.

I came to directing by way of editing (which I still love) and, before that, a background in animation. This allows me to combine the narrative heart of cutting with the more structured, technical approach of 3D animation and VFX. I’m just as comfortable capturing authentic, long-form stories with real people as I am in a studio executing a tightly scripted, technical shoot.
 

Having worked for a decade in-house at a small hybrid production company, I’ve worn many hats and excel at getting work to punch well above its weight. I’m a big believer in a ‘horses for courses’ approach to production and know that sometimes a small, agile crew can yield better results than a whole tonne of crew and trucks.
 

I love the creative challenges my work provides and the brilliant people I get to work with. There's nothing I enjoy more than pairing a great idea with a great execution.
