Social Responsibility

It’s important to take responsibility in some way, big or small, for the betterment of our global community. I’ve always felt that if I’m not actively thinking about or researching what I can do to improve something, then I’m not doing my part as a fellow human being in this world. I strive to push myself out of my comfort zone to learn more about what makes me different from other people and what unites us.
I hope you’ll do the same.

About Ben:

Where to begin… he’s an Actor… that much is certain, but to leave it there would be a bit of a simplification. His drive to learn new things and master them came at a young age, and he really hasn’t stopped since. He’s been performing since five years old, and in elementary school he started his first business as a temporary tattoo artist using gel pens.

Ben studied Photography, Art History, and Design at Lesley University where he also dug deep into Shakespeare, contemporary theatre, and even a bit of filmmaking. He has photographed, filmed, and worked with people of all walks of life, including Politicians, CEO’s, Healthcare workers, Pro Surfers, Spanish Rockstars, Brazilian Cowboys, and Mexican villagers. After training for two years at the Tom Todoroff Conservatory in NYC, he’s been performing in many off-off Broadway theatre productions, and some indie films to boot.

Today, he exists in Brooklyn, surrounded by plants, exploring the space between physical reality and digital authenticity.

Sometimes works of art find a way to hold on and not let go. Although I think it was Leonardo da Vinci who said “Art is never finished, only abandoned.” . This little film has come a long way since we first started shooting back in 2017.
