Ben's paintings are currently featured in galleries and museums throughout the world and have been profiled in "Southwest Art Magazine" and "American Art Collector." In 2007, his creative process was the subject of the Emmy nominated episode "God's Close Up" in the Showtime series "This American Life." Bens work can be seen at theartofbenmcpherson.com . Ben then expanded his talents by creating a series for National Geographic and continued to hone his craft as a filmmaker while helming projects for other networks. In 2013, he co-created and directed a live stage production of "Man in the Moon" which opened to a sold-out audience of more than 20,000. His first feature-length film "Radioflash," which Ben both wrote and directed, will be released in theaters later this year and stars Dominic Monaghan, Brighton Sharbino, and Will Patton.
