Ben Blaine
One half of the Blaine Brothers. Chris along with Ben write, direct and edit for TV and film. Their debut feature NINA FOREVER received its world premiere at SXSW. It played to near unanimous acclaim, one review saying “Who are these Blaine Brothers and where have they been hiding? Nina Forever is a sensational film…and with it, the Blaine Brothers have brought serious game to the screen. It’s clear the film world’s latest sibling tag-team has come to play.”*
As it goes they had mainly been hiding in London, creating an eclectic array of short films,
sketches, music videos and documentaries. Their work received a retrospective at the ICA and
has been both BIFA nominated and BAFTA shortlisted. Lucky enough to have been mentored by
Gillies MacKinnon through the Guiding Lights scheme, the Blaines were Screen International “Stars of Tomorrow” sometime before yesterday. They are represented by Ian Benson & Hannah Boulton at The Agency.
