  • Benjamin Nicolas

    When he learned about the performing arts, Ben was just an actor in his early 20s. Once he became a director, he discovered the great advantage of being able to direct actors, whose hidden talent he knows how to tap into. The first time he touched a camera was to shoot documentaries. At that time, he was director of photography. Ben participated in more than fifteen feature documentaries and directed three during this same period. For the past six years, he has been developing his skills in the advertising industry around the world. He has created advertising campaigns for brands such as Nivea, Renault, Huawei and Oppo. Movement is the key word in his work. He has worked with many dancers and athletes from around the world. His experience has allowed him to create large sets and choreographies with over a hundred extras. He is known as a hard worker, involved in every detail of the process of each of his projects, a go-getter and an innovator. Currently, Ben is working on a feature film related to journalism, his first passion.
