Ben West joins the Digital Film League


 

 

Award winning filmmaker Ben West was born in Sydney, Australia, grew up in Papua New Guinea and is now based in Los Angeles. His work illustrates a mastery of comedy with the use of visual effects. The critically acclaimed film FUGU & TAKO represents the evolution of this unique director’s vision for storytelling.

Ben has been a visual effects supervisor at Academy Award winning studios, a director at Radical media, he got a Masters in Directing and is also an Architect. A veritable swiss army knife or a dog’s breakfast depending on your perspective. Whatever the case, Ben’s focus remains on telling a good story. He’s driven by a passion for good performance and visual effects being a part of that journey. The line between reality and make-believe is getting thinner, balancing on that wire is what Ben does best.

Ben is currently Creative Director at Framestore in Los Angeles. In addition to developing, FUGU & TAKO into a Graphic Novel, Ben’s current projects include aliens, a three-armed man and zombies.
