︎ Ben Pluimer is an Emmy award winning director and producer in Los Angeles.
He was born and raised in small town South Dakota where he cut his teeth shooting everything he could on his family’s beat up VHS camcorder...mostly videos of him and his friends tearing around town to Beastie Boys songs. He went to film school in Minnesota, where he watched all the good movies and made lots of bad ones. He currently works as a director, producer & showrunner.
Ben has directed & created for Nickelodeon, ABC, 20th Century Fox, E!, Comedy Central, Syfy, Google, Dominos, Amazon, Uber, Snapchat, Funny or Die, Dow, Mattel, Red Hour Films, Go90, Ford, Taco Bell, Mars Inc, Mattel, Subaru, AT&T, Black & Decker, Harley Davidson, Jenn-Air and literally every other brand in the world.
His true passion is drinking all the LaCroix’s.
