Ben is the Director of The Orion Fund Film Project. He has been hanging out with, interviewing, and filming three of our students. The hours of film have been edited into vignettes, and tell their stories. We are very pleased to have him as part of The Orion Fund, and look forward to sharing the videos with you this year.
Ben is a Bay Area native. He grew up in Piedmont, CA, and then graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a B.A. in Visual Arts and Film in 2008. In 2010, Ben embedded at the George Mark Children’s House, which provides for pediatric end of life care. There he followed the stories of three families and their children. The result is the movie, A New Way Home. The movie was submitted to the 501c3 Capturing Change on Camera, a nationwide competition sponsored by Tufts University and the National Boston Studios, to acknowledge “the most inspiring, motivating and creative videos of a youth, child, or family focused nonprofit organization”. Ben’s film won the competition in 2011.
