Moving every three or four years across the country and Europe as a son to an enlisted nurse in the US Army has brought Ben a multitude of perspectives, ideals and interests.

His films have been official selections in over 40 film festivals worldwide, garnering many prizes, including SXSW’s Special Jury Prize.

His stories vary from complicated adult dramas to whimsical children’s adventures, yet all stem from common themes of identity, acceptance and the nature of being human.
