We worked with Ben to film an interview and some b-roll, and he was awesome! Our interviewee & the institution gave great feedback about him, too. He was prompt, professional, and flexible when it came to a tight schedule with travel involved. The deliverable looks fantastic — beautiful and good quality. We would highly recommend him.

I shot this piece for 60 Second Docs. Ryan Wang is a typical 9-year-old boy, with one extreme exception -- he’s a world-famous classical piano prodigy. In 2013, when he was just five years old, he performed at Carnegie Hall, and has since made appearances on The Ellen Show and with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra. And through it all, Ryan remains a normal kid who loves life offstage, too.

Feminism takes many forms. And, according to Melinda Gates, one such form is apparent in the kitchen, the heart of many homes, where nourishment is given from parent to child. Gates, co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Sam Kass, a former senior policy advisor for nutrition to President Barack Obama, spoke to Global Citizen for World Food Day about that connection.
