Ben Hohener is a young writer and director from Toronto. He is drawn to stories that live in the uncanny. Driven by creating visceral displays of surreal grotesquery matched only by the inherent humanity that oozes from these stories like a burst blackhead, he also writes literary fiction alongside directing.
His debut short film, Some Like It Rotten, premiered at the Toronto Indie Horror Fest in October 2025, and since then he has been hard at work crafting his next story: A dark thriller with a unique twist he plans on directing himself in the upcoming year.
