"My name is Ben Jessup, I am a graduate from the University of Wolverhampton and I have a love for films. I love working on them, watching them and critiquing them. I think there is so much creativity and story telling that can be expressed within film making. I hope to continue to make films that people want to see and can talk about years to come, I specifically enjoy working within a collaborative environment with a crew and can appreciate everyone's input for an idea."

Finding Lloyd originated from a few different places, firstly an experience I had while crewing on a film left me mesmerised by the power of an argument between two characters within a scene, secondly the argument scene in Marriage Story, Directed by Noah Baumbach, the way their aggression towards one another is brought out with words instead of violence is something incredible and I wanted to replicate the effect this had on me for others with my own film. My film has become a lot more than just this now though, it is about this guy called Patrick, who has to make the tough decision of realising that he has married the wrong person, he is too cowardly to tell her this though so he finds a way out of the relationship by cheating on her with his manager.
