Ben Hibon
Manager: Tarik Heitmann
BEN HIBON is one of the top commercial and award-winning video directors in the world having directed TV commercials and videogame campaigns for clients like Disney, Microsoft, Sony and Riot Games, among others. Ben came on the scene with the award-winning short film for MTV Asia, CODEHUNTERS, which has been seen by over 400 million people.
He has held the positions of Chief Creative Officer at both Psyop and Luma and recently left Riot Games (LEAGUE OF LEGENDS) as the head of Cinematics to become the director, co-ep and creative lead of the new CG animated STAR TREK series PRODIGY for Nickelodeon. His incredible gift as a storyteller parlayed him into directing the animated "Tale of Three Brothers" sequence in HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS (PART 1), which was nominated as part of Warner Bros.' VFX submission to the Academy Awards. He and David Yates also won the British Animation Award for his Harry Potter sequence.
On the heel of directing that segment, Ben was hired by Zack Snyder and WB to direct 4 shorts for SUCKER PUNCH. He also directed the opening animated segment of MIRROR MIRROR for Relativity & Tarsem. Sony PlayStation had commissioned Hibon to create and direct an animated series inspired by their flagship PlayStation 3 game Heavenly Sword. The episodes, made available weekly as a lead-up to the game's release, are also featured on the game disc as extras. In addition, he lent his design skills to feature films including Snow White and the Huntsman and The Last Witch Hunter.
