BEN TAMAN (He/Him) is a trans film director originally from Eau Claire, WI. At present he lives and works in Los Angeles, CA after spending 10 years in Minneapolis. As a trans man with schizophrenia, it’s easier for him to embrace the weirdness in life rather than fight against it. Strange, a bit warped, a little off–classic Ben. His projects tend to be autobiographical in some way, and he’s happy at the chance to share things with you.
