Benjamin S. Hunter

Creative Director

Ben has been fascinated by movies since he saw "Star Wars" as a kid. The world created in a Galaxy Far Far away drew him into making his own films. He enjoyed making home movies with good friends on the family DV Camera, but never thought they would turn into anything. That all changed when God gave him the vision for a "Christian production company" in Colorado. Ben was both ecstatic and terrified by the idea of making Narrative feature films and Documentaries, but God has led him every step of the way. Ben's Films have won Best Cinematography, Best Short Story, Best Editing and Best Production Design.

The most recent story we produced is called True North. Hear is the log line: When John discovers that his dad is bailing on a backpacking trip they have planned for months, his emotions lead him astray and test his survival skills. The moral lesson of the story is family is more important than an heirloom....

EFP: Why did you become a filmmaker?

BH: To tell great stories and to connect with people on life events that we can all relate to.
