The Neil Ben Difference
Neil tells the stories audiences are craving: bold, funny, and emotionally honest, with disabled characters who feel real and never reduced to stereotypes.A long-established television director, a single father, and a lifelong challenger of clichés, Neil brings the kind of voice the industry needs right now: inclusive, distinctive, unforgettable. Work with Neil and you don’t just get great scripts or direction, you get someone who makes your production stand out with authenticity and heart.
Neil is a talented and creative director who I have had the pleasure to work with on Murder They Hope series 2. He is also an accomplished writer and perhaps most important of all he has a full grasp of the intricacies required for making television comedy, a rare and wonderful thing.
