Ben Mills

A trained filmmaker with a decade working professionally in theatre, I'm particularly excited by exploration of the "new" - be it new ways of developing plays, projects that incorporate emerging technologies, or leading participatory projects that open storytelling up to those without a creative background. My recent projects have included plays, opera, films, comedy, audio trails, immersive experiences and digital storytelling. I love each of those, but something that gave me the chance to combine some - or all - of those would be a dream. He/him.
