People like to be able to easily identify you. To put you in a little compartment with a little tag on the door with a simple 2 syllable word for what and who you are. I get that. I understand it. Sure makes everybody’s life easier. Cleaner. Simpler. But I don’t like it. I don’t like to be defined by where I’m from. What I’ve done. What I’m doing. I don’t like much of a divide between the work and the play and I want to do both of them really really hard.

My names Ben. I’m a filmmaker. Here’s my new Website.
