Born of two ‘Kingdoms’ - the UK and Cambodia - Kingdom Born is the creative child of director-producer, husband-wife duo, Ben & Bophanie.
Ben Lankester
Ben is a London-based director, writer and photographer who has spent the last decade travelling worldwide working within film, commercials, music and television. In that time he has created high end impact campaigns for charities and brands, through which he has built a reputation on work that combines high cinematic craft with intimate performances, always with a focus on authenticity.
Bophanie Lun
Bophanie (pronounced Bo-pan-ee and shortened to Phanie) is a British-Cambodian producer who ran a successful commercial production company for over 10 years, overseeing operations and productions, training and mentoring producers and filmmakers.
Working on impact drama ‘Who’s Counting?' with Ben moved her into the women’s health space, producing sensitive portrayals of underrepresented topics including fertility, pregnancy and baby loss. Delivery is her first narrative short and she continues to be inspired to tell female driven stories through Kingdom Born.
