When it comes to filmmaking Ben has truly done it all. Ben is an award winning filmmaker and educator. With experience as a producer and assistant director on award winning indie feature films such as “Best Worst Movie”, “The American Scream”, and the romantic comedy “In Lieu of Flowers”.
Ben has also been an award winning educator, creating film and photography programs at schools and with non-profits. His work in education has been recognized by the IMAX InFocus Program, The CT Art’s Council, and The National Association of Secretaries of State for innovative work in education involving video storytelling.
During the Covid-19 pandemic Ben was honored by the Connecticut Arts Council with a “Community Builder” award for his work to create a summer film program for students during the pandemic which allowed students to create films about historic, cultural and environmental sites in their communities. For many students it was their first chance since the lockdown began to go out and interact with peers.
Ben and his wife Katie moved to Vermont three years ago where they have started a new adventure! Katie is the Studio Director of Peak Yoga in Stowe, and Ben works for WCAX where he produces a beloved local show (which is also one of the longest running shows on television), Across The Fence.
