Creative Producer
From writing and development to post production and delivery I’m all in. I take pride in my ability to wear multiple hats which allows the flexibility to make things happen no matter how big or small the budget is. Coffee is my spirit animal.
Director
Being on camera can make anyone feel vulnerable. My directing approach is all about creating an environment that allows performers to feel completely comfortable whether it’s their first time or they’re seasoned pros. Establishing trust goes beyond what happens on set and starts with writing and development.
CINEMATOGRAPHER
Cinematography is the foundation of my filmmaking career and before moving to Los Angeles I cut my teeth as a DP in New York. I tend to shoot what I’m directing but I get excited about projects that allow me to work with talented DPs.
I’ve been an editor ever since my filmmaking career began in 2005 and have navigated the treacherous waters from Final Cut 7 to Adobe Premiere. Due to the 2020 Pandemic I decided to go back to school to learn After Effects. I took an 8 week course through the School of Motion and not only survived but I also earned a certificate.
Editor
Photographer
It all started with a love for photography. I’m grateful for the clients who have sent me around the world to capture images for their projects. These adventures have shaped my creative perspective and impacted me deeply as a human being living on this spinning lava rock hurtling through space.
Brands I’ve worked with
“I’ve worked on numerous projects with Ben Conley over the years and I’m always impressed with his high level of professionalism and ability to put clients at ease. He can effortlessly wear multiple hats, and this sets him apart from the pack. I know I can trust him as a producer, director, or editor. He is a positive force with a keen creative eye”
— Ari Schneiderman, Head of Production at Stink Films
“My agency worked with Ben on a few of our clients' projects over the past few years and I absolutely loved working with him! He would go above and beyond to help us hit crazy deadlines and manage creative shifts/requests from clients. He is such a great partner and we were always excited to hear that he was on a project with us.”
— Rebecca LaMarca, Senior Director at Praytell
“Ben was my go-to on a big social campaign with a live action component for POM through The Wonderful Agency. Ben directed, shot and edited the entire job and with lightning speed turned around several amazing edits that exploded all over social media and online. If you are looking for a smart, creative talented director/shooter Ben is your man!.”
