ANIMATION PRODUCTION

I’m currently helping a Dubai-based studio to produce a cinematic anime, that merges 2D anime stylization with real-time Unreal workflows.

 

My role spans direction, casting, script & IP development, as well as performance-driven visual storytelling.

We are aiming for a distribution deal with a release date of winter 2026.

About

ABOUT BEN

After graduating from the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in 2005, Ben trod the boards as an actor living in London and gained experience working in television, theatre and film. His career brought him to Dubai in 2010 where he continued to work in the entertainment industry as a performer, host, singer and voiceover.

From 2014 to 2020 Ben worked extensively in licensed properties helping produce live shows for properties belonging to Warner Brothers, Hasbro, Sony Pictures, Cartoon Network and more.

In 2018 Ben was head of production for three live shows at the billion-dollar Warner Brothers World Theme Park in Abu Dhabi for which he and his team won multiple awards.

 

As a voiceover, Ben has voiced commercials for a number of top brands including Pepsi, Mastercard, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Porsche (car companies seem to like him) and many more. He was the chosen voice for Dubai’s Expo 2020 campaign and recently completed work on the cult computer game ‘Conquerors Blade’.

In 2020 Ben formed his own VO production company and studio, Mr. Ben's Voice Box FZE LLC and quickly became one of the most in demand voices in Dubai.

In 2021, Ben and his studio won the Best Producer award for Outstanding Production of an Audiobook at the voiceover industry’s most prestigious awards, The Society of Voice Arts and Sciences Awards in New York.

In 2023, he was recognized by the Dubai Culture & Arts Authority as a person of outstanding creative talent and awarded a Golden Residency Visa.

RENDERED WITH HONESTY

bts_still_edited_edited.jpg

My path has always lived between art and technology.  As a performer and producer, I use Unreal Engine to merge cinematic storytelling with real-time creation.

 

What matters to me isn’t how real something looks — it’s how honest it feels.

 

I draw on classical acting techniques to shape performances that break through the digital veneer — finding truth, emotion, and humanity beneath the surface of technology.

 

My work lives at the intersection of performance, direction, and innovation — always in service of the story.
