About
Built from the ground up
in the DIY music scene.

Ben Morse spent years in vans touring Europe and the USA as a photographer and filmmaker embedded with working bands. Giving him rare access to the liminal space musicians occupy: rejecting conventional paths while obsessively proving themselves.

His music video work, from zero-budget punk bands to major label commissions, has accumulated over 7 million views on YouTube. That body of work led to his feature documentary Get Better: A Film About Frank Turner (StudioCanal, 2016). Eight years in the making, #7 at the UK box office in its opening week.

Since 2018, Ben has led Canon EMEA's creative team, exec producing two films with Sir Steve McQueen's Lammas Park Productions, sponsoring Raindance Film Festival, and championing emerging voices in cinema. He remains an active director, shooting campaigns and music content, and mentors through the Creative Mentor Network.

All of this experience culminates in his next feature, currently in development.

Screenplay

A psychological thriller set inside a single music venue, across a single day. The last show. The eternal loop.

A masked singer and her band face what may be their final performance at a venue that doesn't want to let them go. The film explores the rituals of tour, the mental health of performers, and the machine that audience, artist, and industry build together — willingly.
