43I'm Ben, an artist and filmmaker from LA. Currently a senior at
44              CalArts, I’m passionate about animation and coming up with weird
45              pipelines.
46</p> <p data-astro-cid-kh7btl4r>
47My films Gary the Duck, NO DIALOGUE, PAINFUL HICCUPS, VINTERFINT,
48              and LEFTOVER PASTA have been screened at film festivals like the
49              Animation is Film festival and the New York Int’l Children’s Film
50              Festival. NO DIALOGUE, VINTERFINT, and LEFTOVER PASTA were
51              selected for the CalArts Producers’ Shows from 2023-2025. In my
52              free time I like making music, putting together eductional youtube videos, and
53              coding stuff like this website!
