Ben deHoedt began documentary film making in recent years alongside his career as a youth mental health clinician in Melbourne. The balancing act of working with young people and families at a crossroads in their lives - and engaging in the creation of film and music in his "civilian" life - brings forth meaning and purpose which is evident in both sides of Ben's work.
For now using the medium of "music documentary" film making, Ben is most concerned with weaving a spell, bringing the viewer into a world and finding the human relational themes in the stories he brings to the screen.
