Ben Hands

With extensive experience across the AD department, I bring a strong combination of organisational skills, diligence, and proactive problem-solving to every production. As a 1st AD, I excel in devising creative solutions that meet targets and deadlines while safeguarding artistic integrity, coordinating multiple productions with precision and professionalism. In my role as a 2nd AD, I work closely with the 1st AD to prepare detailed call sheets, manage departmental and cast communication, and support the production with key logistical considerations, ensuring clarity and efficiency in the lead-up to each shoot day. As a 3rd AD, I facilitate the smooth processing of cast and extras, providing clear direction on set to align background performance with the director's vision while maintaining order and pace on the floor. Across all roles, I am a clear communicator, detail-oriented, and adaptable under pressure, with a strong work ethic, integrity, and a collaborative approach that fosters both creative success and operational efficiency.
