Ben is a talented and visually literate Director who is equally capable as a Producer, even under stress and in difficult environments, both physical and political. He also brings humour and lightness of touch where appropriate. Best of all, he's a top bloke.
Ben came to us originally to edit produce a one hour factual documentary. But ultimately took on a much bigger role, helping shape the look and feel of the whole series, as well as producing and directing other key elements of the show. I felt that not only was he organised and a great team player, but someone who could creatively bring a lot to a new production and deliver to the brief he had been given. A safe pair of hands and a great guy to work with.
Ben worked for us as a P/D and did an excellent (award-winning) job: very creative; great work ethic; very organised; good judgement; a well-regarded member of the team. I’d work with him again without hesitation.
