Benjamin Le Botland
Producer/Director
An engineer by training, I’m a jack-of-all-trades, hyperactive, and passionate. After earning my Captain license, I transitioned into the sailing industry.
Upon returning from my latest scientific expedition to Iceland, I decided to launch ‘Sails of Science,’ a project aimed at raising awareness of climate change through sailing with our nonprofit boat.
A few months after a severe burnout from this project, I took on the challenge of completing the HRP to regain some mental balance.
Self-taught and a perfectionist, I set the bar high for my first feature-length film to deliver a high-quality audiovisual experience. To achieve this goal, I’ve surrounded myself with several experts in their respective fields.

Composer/Performer
I invite you on a musical and multicultural journey. Inspired by melodies from various tribes, I highlight their chants, sounds, and rhythms with different styles of electronic music such as tribal downtempo, ethnic deep house, techno, and more.
As a multi-instrumentalist, I not only delve into samples of music from around the world, but I also play the Native American flute, Arabic oud, kalimba, tongue drum, guitar, piano…
My productions are an authentic encounter between world music and my own melodies. In my pieces, you can hear the vibrations of humanity and the Earth, as if people and nature from different spaces and times were singing and playing together. My ambition is to reveal the inner beauty of other cultures.

Technical Support
I am a director and traveler, passionate about encounters and human stories. After backpacking through Asia and Oceania, I embarked on boats to make travel films. Five years of sailing on all oceans and multiple times to the poles, in the Arctic and Antarctic.
Touched by these polar landscapes and enriched by the knowledge of scientists, I now have at heart to share the richness and fragility of these distant lands, during public screenings and with the youngest.
With favorite themes related to ecology, education, and citizen initiatives, I like to give voice to those who act for the preservation of our planet and the awareness of our minds!
I support the project on all technical aspects, including production, directing, and post-production.
