BEN QUINN

BEN’S WORK DOES NOT HIDE AWAY FROM AUTHENTIC EMOTION, AND HIS WORK CAN SIMULTANEOUSLY MAKE YOU LAUGH AND CRY. THE EMOTION IN HIS FILMS IS PERFORMANCE BASED AND OFTEN COMES FROM AN EVERYDAY PLACE. BEN KNOWS HOW TO STEER AWAY FROM BECOMING TOO DRAMATIC, OR TOO FULL OF ARTIFICE, IN ORDER TO KEEP THE AUDIENCE CONNECTED. THE BALANCE BETWEEN HUMOUR AND EMOTION IS A CREDIT TO BEN’S UNDERSTANDING OF PEOPLE, AND GETTING TO THE “REAL” PARTS OF A SCRIPT. HE JOKES “IF YOU GET THE PERFORMANCES RIGHT, YOU WON’T NEED COLDPLAY OVER THE TOP TO TELL THE AUDIENCE HOW TO FEEL.” THE HUMOUR IN BEN’S WORK COMES FROM THE SAME PART OF THE SOUL AS THE TEARS. HE’S NOT AFRAID OF THE DARK, BUT HIS EXPERTISE IN TECHNIQUE AND PERFORMANCE BRINGS THE WHOLE FAIRYTALE TOGETHER.
