At the age of sixteen Ben got his first commission, a documentary about homelessness in Birmingham. He later went into making music videos for artists such as Roots Manuva and Diplo. He then went on to make various award winning shorts. His latest short 'The Curse of the Internet Man' won three international short film competitions. More recently he's worked all over the world making gritty documentaries for BBC and Channel 4. From Murdered rappers in LA, Drug Lords in Lebanon to Gangs in El Salvador. His latest BBC documentary 'A Very British Cult' achieved huge critical success. "A Very British Cult is a careful, delicate, remorseless investigation and anatomisation of the real suffering caused by an organisation known as Lighthouse." The Guardian ****
