Bio

Ben’s avenue into writing has been through comedy, starting with sketch and character. He wrote and performed in the CBS Diversity Showcase and you’ll be able to hear him on the Netflix animated show Spirit Rangers proudly representing Purepechans in this all-Native cast. He developed the pilot Sheperds which won the audience award at SeriesFest and premiered at Dances With Films. A good afternoon for Ben would be reading about Stan Winston’s puppeteering process in The Thing for taking a trip to Burbank’s Slashback Video, which houses 80s horror nostalgia via a vintage VHS library.
