Benji Edwards
1st assistant director (DGA)
I have been in the biz for over 30 years (I started young!) with over 22 years experience as a 1st AD.
I have worked on countless commercials over that time & many TV productions in the UK & all around the world.
I have experienced anything & everything that has been thrown my way including large stunt set ups, tracking vehicles, Cars, boats, planes, helicopters, drones, large crowds, small crowds, hostile environments, fashion, beauty, food, VIPs, Celebs, VFX, kids, animals and recently ferrets. I enjoy & thrive working on complex large productions large or small.
