Hi! I'm Ben. I love creating beautiful images to tell stories that matter. I’m a self-proclaimed camera nerd and I spend way too much time reading up on the latest filmmaking tech. When I'm not studying for my next marketing exam, I can usually be found around Lennoxville writing, shooting or editing my most recent project.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and experience new places!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies are my jam! I like a good sci fi (Her, Gravity, and most recently Arrival) or indie drama (Beasts of the Southern Wild, Primer, or the one I always recommend that no one's seen: Short Term 12). I'm currently obsessed with the work of Denis Villeneuve.

As far as books, I loved the Ender's Game series, but I have to admit that I'm not much of a reader. When I'm not reading for school, I generally find myself reading shorts and feature screenplays to inspire my next film!

Weirdly enough, I don't listen to very much music, but I do play! Over the years, I've played violin, drums, guitar, tenor sax, and I'm currently learning to play the Russian national anthem on the piano, because why not?!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once swam in an volcano in Costa Rica. Not an active one, of course.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If your country has curd cheese, I can make you some authentic Québécois poutine! I could probably also teach you way more than you ever wanted to know about photography.
