Highlights
-
Distortion Entertainment
Ben is one of the most talented and hard working people I have ever worked with. His contribution to my feature was endless. He helped over see roles as assistant director, production manager and also script consultant. I would and hope to definetly work with Ben in future projects that I have lined up and would recommend himto anyone. It is evident to see why he is so busy and earning professionally at such an early stage. -
Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust
Ben worked as a camera operator and editor on our 'Board Challenge' staff awards project.
He produced 12 short films which promoted each finalist. These films were then shown at an awards ceremony on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 in Birmingham.
Ben was a pleasure to work with, he was punctual and had a great working style. A lot of the people filmed were nervous and he really put them at ease and brought out the best in them.
Everyone at the awards ceremony was really impressed with the final films (including out executive team), and we wouldn't hesitate to work with him again in the future.
