BEN>S
BIO
Ben Spilling is a creative producer and director working across documentary, branded content, and digital-first film. With over eight years of experience, he has created work for GQ, Ford, Belmond, Aston Martin, HelloFresh, Peroni, Asahi, and the United Nations, delivering projects that range from fast-moving digital films to international productions. His work is driven by a passion for narrative, with a focus on character-led, emotionally grounded storytelling.
Ben takes a holistic approach to filmmaking, moving fluidly between concept, directing, editing, and post-production. This end-to-end creative understanding feeds directly into his commercial work, allowing ideas to be realised with clarity, speed, and craft.
AI has become a key strand in Bens creative practice. He actively uses AI to ideate, visualise, pre-build, and evolve powerful work developing concepts, references, previs, and post workflows that push ideas further and faster. For Ben, AI isn’t a shortcut; it’s a creative partner that expands possibility while keeping a strong human voice at the centre.
Alongside commercial projects, Ben is currently directing Generative, a documentary exploring the history and cultural impact of generative art.
