Ben Link - the missing link

Born and bred in London, a true veteran of the Soho production world, Ben Link has been producing pop videos, short films, commercials, TV and film for over 25 years. He was raised by an actress mother and director/producer father. 

From his first jobs at Riverside Studios as a casual rigger and ASM, to pop videos, commercials and feature films: everyone who has ever worked with Ben knows that his energy and passion are contagious. 

He has worked in every genre. Ben started as a runner (to this day still claims it was the best job he ever had) and landed in the world of feature films, starting with huge Hollywood films such as Event Horizon & Sleepy Hollow. 

He returned to commercials with some of the most highly acclaimed industry directors such as Jon Glazer, Jake Scott, Gerald de Thame, Peter Thwaites, Alicia MacDonald, Dougal Wilson, Seb Edwards, Frederic Planchon, Henry Alex Rubin & Anthony Mandler to name a few. 

He has won the top awards multiple times at Cannes Lions, D&AD and the British Arrows, and worked everywhere around the world, jungles, beaches, deserts, mountains, bars and stadiums, oh and a few carparks too! 

He launched his own production company with his wife Heather in 2017, Missing Link Films. It was awarded 5th Top Production company in 2024 by Campaign. 

He now spreads his time as a freelance commercials producer, developing long-form projects and servicing foreign shoots in the UK.
