LOS ANGELES, USA // After moving to Los Angeles from Alexandria, Virginia, Ben began his career in film development, working for several production companies including producer Joel Silver’s Silver Pictures. On the day he informed everyone he was leaving to pursue his dream of working on movie trailers Joel yelled, “why the hell would you do that? You think your hours are bad now?” While he should have asked several follow up questions, he hasn’t regretted the decision for a minute.
Ben has been incredibly fortunate to work with some of the most talented editors, graphic designers, producers, and music supervisors in the business. He started at Aspect Ratio as an Associate Producer, then moved on AV Squad where he spent nearly a decade working his way up to Creative Director. He is now Vice President at ZEALOT, where he leads their growing theatrical division.
A multiple Clio and Golden Trailer award winner, Ben has been privileged to work on many exciting campaigns over the years, including AIR, HERE, KINDS OF KINDNESS, KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, DUMB MONEY, KUNG FU PANDA 4, LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL, A QUIET PLACE, THE BIG SHORT, THE NORTHMAN, AND SONIC THE HEDGEHOG.
Ben and his wife Morgan live in Sherman Oaks with their two boys Eli and Beau.
