RECOMMENDATIONS
Director of Heathers, Freaky Friday and 13 Going on 30
“I have had the pleasure of working with many wonderful creative associates over my career but working with the remarkable Ben Johnson was truly at a whole other level. He is the perfect collaborator with all departments. His attention to detail and kindness in working with actors of all ages is a marvel to witness. I fully recommend him for any and all future creative opportunities. Stop reading this and hire him. You will thank me later.”
Producer, H+H Productions
“I had the pleasure of working with Ben on both Nerds and Freaky Friday and their impact on each production was invaluable. They combine exceptional organisational skills with creative insight, helping to bring out the best in both the work and the people around them.
Calm, collaborative, and highly effective under pressure, they consistently create an environment where cast and crew feel supported, motivated, and able to thrive.
What sets them apart is their ability to balance high standards with genuine care for others. Their leadership, attention to detail, and positive energy made them an integral part of both productions, and I would gladly work with them again.“
