About

Hi, I’m Ben, a screenwriter and director based in London and the South East. My films can be characterised as a blend of surreal dark comedy and British realism, all connected by an affection for intimate, character-driven story telling.

My work has been BIFA longlisted and has received awards and nominations from Academy Award qualifying and BAFTA qualifying film festivals such as Aesthetica, Flickers’ Rhode Island, Indy Shorts and The Royal Television Society in Best Short Film and Best Comedy Film categories.

In 2023 I was awarded membership to BAFTA Connect in recognition of my work as an emerging writer.

I am currently developing a slate of feature film and tv projects. My latest shorts ‘The Nun Slayer’ and ‘Free Spirits’ are currently on the festival circuit.

I am available for music videos and narrative work in shorts, television and feature films in both a screenwriting and directing capacity. Shoot me a message!
