The Arena -- Short Film
In post production at the moment. Inspired by Neill Blomkamp's decision to shoot a short mocumentary for District 9 before the feature, I wrote and directed a short mocumentary set in the same world as my feature The Arena. Featuring action and stunts by the amazing Charlie Allen and his team at Combat International.

A lot of last year was spent screenwriting. So to keep my eye in, I also directed three shorts. These are all in post production at the moment, and we plan to have them out late 2017.

I directed the 2 hour scripted drama doc Bannockburn for A&E. Entirely shot in the graphic novel style of the movie 300. Gave my VFX muscles a good work-out.
My short film The Case Of Mary Ford racked up over 30 or so festival "in competition" awards categories in festivals around the world; having already won a handful of awards including Best Director and Best Film.
My doc with drama series, Jesus the Rise to Power, was shortlisted for Best Series at the prestigious Grierson Awards 2013.
My short film, The Company, was a finalist in the London Scifi 48 hour film festival challenge 2013.
I directed drama recon for The Lost Diary of Livingstone for Sky Vision, about which Ed Sayer, the exec at Nat Geo, said "Ben's reconstructions on 'Livingstone' were second to none, and really brought the entire film alive. Use other directors at your peril!"
I wrote and directed 2 episodes of the crime drama-doc Web Of Lies. My eps were the All Time Highest Rating shows on Discovery ID until another show I directed knocked it off its top spot.
