Director Biography - Ben Willis-Teff

Ben Willis-Teff was born in Columbia, Missouri, but grew up in the plains of western Nebraska. He began creating montages of family vacations to relive excursions outside his small town. Intrigued by the concepts of syncing music with video, in high school he started to experiment with video game montages to submit to editing contests on YouTube. Ben returned to Columbia to study Digital Storytelling at the University of Missouri, where he earned the Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Research for his first narrative short film. After graduation, he booked a one-way ticket to South America and made his first foreign language film while living in Brazil. Ben is now based in Los Angeles, where he writes and directs narrative films and music videos.
