Ben Dowden - Film Maker
My name is Ben Dowden. I am also known by my initials BD. I have been a freelance film maker and photographer for 11 years making my living documenting the working practices of other artists, film makers, musicians, theatre producers, and dancers. Since 2008 I have also been producing much of my own, self initiated work, which I upload to Youtube. This work has formed a channel which streams 160 films, has attracted 142,000 subscribers, and has received over 100 million views. I am now entering a new phase where I have been invited to create content for Getty images. I live in Bristol in the UK.
