Ben Stamper
As a filmmaker, Ben’s primary aim is to reveal the wonder of life that is hiding in plain sight. With a background in painting and music, Ben’s multidisciplinary filmmaking and thirst for adventure has flung him many a time to the far corners of the earth. Ben’s connection to dance was forged in his high school years, in what can only be described as an out-of-body experience while watching a small-town ballet production of Les Sylphides. From that point on, Ben has been enchanted with the alchemy of dance and film.
