A young man with short brown hair and a beard sitting at a wooden desk in an office, smiling and looking to his right. He is wearing a brown checkered shirt. On the desk in front of him are a laptop, a notebook, a yellow pen, and a glass mug with a beverage. In the background, there is a black chair, a large potted plant, and shelves with storage boxes.

Kid Brother Productions is a Brooklyn-based media company supporting the work of documentary filmmaker and podcast producer Ben Boult.

Fascinated with the messiness of being human, Ben creates video and audio works that explore our sense of identity, how we make difficult decisions, and the gap between the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of the world and the inconvenient contradictions we often choose to ignore.

A native of Baltimore, MD and a graduate of Yale University, Ben most recently created and produced The Climate Denier's Playbook, a podcast examining the origins and psychology of climate denial. He previously served as executive producer and director of photography for the YouTube channel Climate Town (45M+ views, 700K+ subscribers), a comedy-driven educational series highlighting the human side of the climate crisis.

Ben’s work has been featured in the New York Times, by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, The United Nations, The NFL Players Association, and at various film festivals across the U.S.

He is currently developing a new podcast series that will investigate many of the widely followed, but seldom examined, social practices and rituals that probably deserve a bit more scrutiny.

Cal, the writer
