Benjamin Bates – Walrus Eating Baloney

INFO

Benjamin Bates grew up in the desert of Arizona out near Queen Creek as one of seven home-schooled kids. He then went on to work with youth programs and performing art groups, traveling to the Samoan Islands, Singapore, Indonesian and even Texas. He went on to write, direct and produce several theatre productions, which led him to decide to get more experience before making the jump into film.

While at college Benjamin again produced and directed two more theatre productions before graduating with a Theatre degree in 2000. He has spent the last 9 years helping his family start an internet company in Arizona, while writing scripts on the side. Walrus Eating Baloney is his first finished feature script. He now spends his time waiting tables at a hipster Lebanese restaurant, maintaining the internet business and working odd film and art projects.
