Off Duty Actors

Director Benjamin Ryan : Overcoming Self-Confidence and Trusting Your Actors


Listen Later

Welcome to Episode Four with Director Benjamin Ryan!

Benjamin is an all-rounder, having made it his mission to work in all crew departments so that he can do his job as a Director with skill and ease. He’s worked in commercial land whilst also creating his own work, directing shorts like his most recent film, 'No Feedback', which premiered at Cinefest OZ and garnered a Best Short Film Finalist Nomination.

We chat about film school, self confidence, gorilla filmmaking, trusting your actors and the relevance of opinions. Benjamin’s experience as a Director and as an all rounder on-set speaks volumes. As someone who has watched his career and confidence as a Director grow, I can safely say he is one to watch. So enjoy this chat with Benjamin Ryan!
