Ellen Wells

"Not Your Average Joe - Col. Joseph F. Dunn"

"Ben Patton and his team did thoughtful and thorough work to create a beautifully crafted film about my father - a soldier, educator and husband. It's not easy to capture the essence of a man in a short film, but they did so with all the grace and sensitivity we could have hoped for. My siblings and I look forward to sharing this evocative portrait of our dear Pop Joe with family members for years to come - especially those who will never have the opportunity to know dad the way we have."

Renée Becton Strickland
"General Julius Becton at 80"

"Through interviews, still photos, music and old family footage Ben was able to show not only the substance of our father's long and distinguished life of service, but also the heart of a man greatly loved. He and his crew wove the pieces together beautifully; telling a story that still brings laughter and tears whenever we watch it, and most importantly, capturing that story for future generations of Bectons."
 
Tony Vaccaro
"Soldier/Photographer Tony Vaccaro"

"In the winter of 2008, Leica Company in Salzburg, Austria invited me to have an exhibition of my photographs...Great honor for me, but due to illness I could not go. I decided instead to send Ben's documentary "Through a Soldier's Lens" which the audience loved immensely. Ben leads a wonderful team that is intelligent, creative, passionate and dedicated to excellence. He did everything to get to know me, with the exception of' walking a mile in my shoes,' before proposing to do a documentary for public television. The result has only added to the prestige of my work as a photographer.”

“Ben’s consistently fresh and creative work serves as testimony to what really distinguishes his work: an ability to explore, discover and tap into the human dimension in special ways that both reveal and evoke.”

"Shiva Rea - Yoga for Japan"

“The ability to scout locations, navigate the complicated New York bureaucracy and put together a successful yoga video shoot in Central Park are what impressed us most about Ben's team. He assembled a superb crew and completed our production quickly and at a high level. Our Japanese clientele don't have time for second best.”
