Ben is the founder of the Seattle Film Summit which empowers regional artists to develop innovative methods of storytelling, funding and distribution to shape a new, socially responsible film culture for the Pacific Northwest. Writers, directors, producers and actors have the opportunity to meet distributors, acquisition executives, talent agents, attorneys, festival directors and others who provide services to the motion picture industry – to learn from and connect with them.

The Seattle Film Summit’s premier event is a 2-day-long series of interactive, educational panels and workshops focused on connecting our local industry to L.A., New York and the world.

The industry professionals who organize the Seattle Film Summit volunteer thousands of combined hours to making it happen, out of the belief that coming together and pooling our resources provides the keys to solving the issues we face.

The upcoming summit is November 17-19, 2019. Learn more at www.seattlefilmsummit.com
