"I have worked with Ben on my last three films, he is undoubtedly one of my closest collaborators and a supremely gifted composer. From the moment I met Ben in 2016 and listened to his work, I knew I had to work with him. Ben has this profound ability of interpreting the sometimes incoherent feelings and ideas I pose to him, he elevates them by creating work that honestly always takes my breath away. His knowledge and mastery of musical language and form is astounding and evident in all the films he has worked on, he has such a diverse and prolific body of work that clearly demonstrates his passion and talent. I am so lucky to have met Ben and so grateful that he has profoundly impacted the films I have made, his music transcends my work and takes it to deeper, unprecedented heights."
