Before shifting into programming full-time, I worked at Lonelyleap, a documentary and commercial production company based in NYC and London. From 2013 to 2020, I held various positions over the years - first as a Producer, then a Post Generalist and Camera Op, and finally a Director of Photography and Post-production Supervisor. For independent film work, I work with Villa House Pictures as a Director and Director of Photography.
Check out my Instagram to see some travel photos from the many countries I've visited for work and play, my GitHub to view some of my code, and drop me line at ben@benhickson.com if you'd like to get in touch. I'm always looking for a project I'd be a great fit for!
