BEN APPLETON

Barcelona-based English filmmaker working with documentary-style projects and online audiovisual content. 

​

With a few years of photography experience and a degree in French & Spanish focusing on social issues through film and media, I decided to take a documentary filmmaking course in Barcelona. Through intensive training, I developed the integral skills to become a freelance documentary filmmaker and content creator for a wide range of clients. 

​

Leaving the dated commercial style behind, documentaries have risen in popularity as the public becomes more aware of false advertising and 'fake news'. A documentary-style advertisement can connect with an audience, working with real people, speaking their true feelings.

​

This training style allowed me to work in a fast-paced and spontaneous manner, whilst capturing the emotion and beauty of real life... the ultimate tools for a filmmaker, videographer and photographer.
