Ben grew up down the street from Jeff and joined the team in 2021 shortly after a 4-year contract in the Navy, when he hit up Jeff to collaborate on a commercial for his outdoor gear startup Anywhere Shirts.
Immediately after that successful production and several smaller media collaborations, Ben pitched Jeff a rough draft for a buddy comedy called “Burnouts”, which finished shooting in December 2022 and is worth at least a Substack series on how it all got made.
