Director-Duo Ben & Ilia featured in LBB's Best & Brightest Rising Talent
In 2024, LBB included us in its roundup of Canada’s most promising rising directors, bringing together a group of filmmakers shaping the country’s next generation of commercial storytelling.
In the feature, we each reflect on what first drew us to directing and the different paths that brought us there, from Ben’s love of writing and imagined worlds to Ilia’s fascination with people, cultures, and the stories shared between them. We also discuss Always Felt, our short film for MS Canada, and why telling that story with honesty and sensitivity became such an important creative milestone for us.
