Director/Cinematographer Ben Brady shares the experiences and lessons that shaped his career—from working on productions with Sacha Baron Cohen and shooting a Radiohead music video connected to Paul Thomas Anderson, to learning from leading cinematographers like Darius Khondji and preparing for new, demanding LED-wall commercial. Ben, who moved from camera PA to DP quickly, explains why curiosity and persistence matter on set, when to ask questions, and how thorough preparation can make the difference between a stressful shoot and a successful one. It’s an honest conversation about filmmaking, mentorship, family, and earning your way through the camera department. Fun fact: Ben is my son and I love working with him! Check out our new Johnsonville Sausage spot we did together.

My cult classic mockumentary, “Dill Scallion” is online so I’m giving 100% of the money to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. I’ve decided to donate the LIFETIME earnings every December, so the donation will grow and grow annually. Thank you.
