The Art of Behind the Scenes
Perspectives and opinions on Behind the Scenes Content
Hi, my name is Ben. I work as a Behind the Scenes content Producer, and am very passionate about seeing this corner of the industry thrive. Through this blog I’d like to share some perspectives I’ve developed on different approaches to BTS content. I’m speaking largely as a fan, hoping to see this genre expand creatively. I’m also wanting to share some things I’ve learned through my own on-set experience, as well as from industry experts I’ve interviewed and worked alongside.
