HI!

I am Benjamin James Harrison, a graduating senior at the University of Missouri Kansas City, a cinephile, and a passionate (one might even say a good) filmmaker.

I grew up watching films. My father was a big art house film nerd, so we would always watch the films off the beaten path. Of course we would watch the classics too. But, I truly fell in love with film when I watched David Lynch’s masterpiece Blue Velvet.

In order to make my films my friends and I would get together almost every week end and with our cheap DV camcorder we would make some pretty awesome short films. At least at the time we thought they were pretty cool…

Years later I decided to major in Communications at UMKC, with an emphasis in Film and Media Arts – naturally. At UMKC I met a lot of like minded people and began my networking process. In Spring ’15 I joined the Student Film League, and now, in my final semester, I am the President of SFL.

Currently I am working as an understudy with Outpost Worldwide’s Director of Photography, Chris Durr. Learning the ins and outs of what it take to work with the camera on a professional level.

Many Thanks,

Benjamin J. Harrison
