Ben Kutchins

Ben Kutchins is a lauded cinematographer whose first feature film, BOMB THE SYSTEM, was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award. Reviewing Kutchins' work on BOMB THE SYSTEM, Stephen Holden of the New York Times wrote, "The splendid cinematography by Ben Kutchins evokes a downscale New York answer to the icy Los Angeles noir of Michael Mann, but on a minuscule budget and with passion to spare."

Before his feature film debut, Kutchins worked professionally as a still photographer at Lucasfilm's Industrial Light and Magic. A 35mm still camera in his hands since the age of 13, he has always felt most at home behind the lens.

Kutchins has shot numerous features including HOLY ROLLERS, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010 as well as the 2011 Fox Searchlight Pictures release THE ART OF GETTING BY.

His more recent projects include THE LONGEST WEEK, a romantic comedy starring Jason Bateman and Olivia Wilde; LUCKY THEM starring Toni Collete and Johnny Depp; Veronica Mars with Kristen Bell;10,000 SAINTS with Ethan Hawke and Hailee Steinfeld; and SLEEPING WITH OTHER PEOPLE with Jason Sudeikis and Amanda Peet.
