        What's in a (screen) name?
    

When I was a young music student I enjoyed a certain notoriety, although to this day I have no idea why.

I do know is that tales of my exploits were often met with the reaction: ‘What, THE Ben Cook?’
For some time I toyed with the question as a title for a solo album that may or may not ever happen, but the irony of the prefix for such a common name continues to tickle me.

     Why you should hire me

It’s really about you:

  • Do you need creative assets?
  • Do you need a complete digital strategy?
  • Do you just need to get your staff up to speed with the technology you want to use?

I’m a versatile creative and a quick study. Also a lifelong learner and currently adding to my competencies as an undergraduate in media production at NTU. My informal and empathetic attitude is geared towards helping my clients find an authentic voice and be able to express it.

      What's your story?

As a media professional, my life evolves around compelling stories, which is why I gravitate towards ethical and aspirational projects. The experience I get from every project helps to inform the next one, so when you ask me to help tell your story, you know it will have the depth and character that it deserves.

      A warm welcome

Misfits, progressive thinkers, neurodiverse, charities; anyone who wants to make the world better or who just wants to make sure ‘that’ voice gets heard.

      Green Credentials

I live and work from a small off-grid boat on the River Trent, occasionally fostering a cat, and I love working with people who are passionate about what they do.

Short documentary looking at why people broke lockdown rules. We’ve all seen coverage of the tabloid delinquents throwing hot-tub parties in the middle of a pandemic, but the voice of the media has drowned out that of the lockdown lawbreakers who are forced to take this risk in order to survive. We will hear insights from the people whose livelihoods have been really affected by COVID-19 and the lack of support they’ve received from the same government that has labelled them as selfish criminals. documentary shortfilm editor director
