To date, he has written 5 short films and 11 feature films, including two novel-to-screen adaptations, and an international martial arts co-production between South Africa and Thailand. His screenplays have placed highly in both local and international script competitions. His thriller script, CANAAN, won the feature diversity category of the 2019 Final Draft Big Break Contest. In 2020, Ben was invited to pitch two of scripts at the Berlin Film Festival's Africa Finance Hub and is a NYFC Fellowship Alumnus.
