About

Filmmaker Ben Powell aims to tell stories with humility and heart. He is a director and producer whose work has taken him a top mountains in Alaska, aboard barges down the Mississippi, and through Tokyo’s winding streets. His work invites us into deeper knowing of people and places that are often overlooked, subtly celebrating the beauty in the minutiae. Compelled to view the world through a lens since he was old enough to hold a camera, Ben has amassed a body of award winning work that has premiered at film festivals across the country. He began his career as a cinematographer, later going on to direct his best known film, BARGE which documents America’s most industrious waterway and the people who live in it. BARGE premiered at SXSW in 2015, later screening at dozens of other festivals across the country and winning the Grand Jury Prize Documentary Feature at the Dallas International Film Festival and Indie Memphis. It can be viewed on Amazon Prime and iTunes.
