Benjamin Barfoot writes, directs, shoots, edits and scores.
He has directed two feature films, Daddy’s Head for Shudder and Double Date for UK cinemas, and more than a decade of documentaries for BBC Panorama, BBC Click, BBC Studios and Vice.
He picks the tools to suit the film. A full crew on a feature. A single camera on a Panorama investigation. Daddy’s Head was built first as a complete animation in Unreal Engine. He edits his own films and has written or arranged the music on both features and on Panorama documentaries.
