Apothecary Films was founded in 2006 by Australian independent film maker Benjamin Richards. With over 18 years experience in the TV, Games and Film Industry as a 3d consultant, designer & visual effects artist, Ben has decided to apply his keen photographic eye and passion for story telling to film and documentary production. During his time with the software powerhouse Autodesk Ben was lucky enough to consult with the likes of Pixar, Weta Digital, Animal Logic, Electronic Arts, Sega, Ubisoft and many other industry leaders. Over the years Ben has also filmed various pieces showcasing the Electronic Music Festivals he held, more than 40 events in total between the years 1998 and 2002, with his partner and founder of ArtCore. The most notable events were the annual Summer Dreaming festival, a 3 day outdoor event with over 30 international artists, numerous events in Sydney’s famous Darling Harbour and an Interactive Multimedia event in Centrepoint Tower called Odd which blended cutting edge electronic music and visuals with Australian Indigenous artwork and performances. A passion for travel, photography, sociology, psychology, technology, science, technocracy, people and life combined with a truly empathic personality makes Benjamin Richards well suited to tell stories from all walks of life across a broad spectrum of topics.
