Ben Nissen wears many hats––some of them made of tin foil. He has been writing and directing videos since he was a teenager. In 2005, he graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a film degree. Since then, he has written, directed, filmed, and edited a number of short films, music videos, and commercials. Nowhere Mind is his first feature film.
