À propos de cet audio
What do West Side Story, combat cameras, and Tubi films have in common? 🎥
In this episode of Balancing Acts Podcast, host Roy Wanguhu sits down with Ben Dennis, a Bay Area cinematographer and artist, to explore his remarkable journey, from serving in the military’s combat camera unit to building a career in independent filmmaking.
Ben opens up about:
⚡ The realities of indie filmmaking and Tubi distribution
⚡ Lessons from film school and the 9/11 GI Bill
⚡ Balancing creativity with burnout in corporate and union gigs
⚡ How fatigue impacts safety and storytelling on set
⚡ AI’s growing role in filmmaking — and why emotion still wins
Ben also shares his philosophy on filmmaking as a daily craft, not a race — and why finishing projects, not chasing perfection, builds longevity in the industry.
