Media Making with a Stutter & Being A Child of a Speech Therapist
FEB 7, 2025
Media Making with a Stutter & Being A Child of a Speech Therapist

Ben Miller is a videographer and person who stutters. Ben spent most of his childhood in speech therapy. His mother is a speech-language pathologist.

Maya met Ben at Sundance at the Proud Stutter event during the Festival. They both saw Ricky, which ended up winning the Jury Grant Prize for Best Director.

How does a stutter impact one's personality? This is just one of the many questions Ben and Maya dissect in a thought provoking conversation between two media artists who stutter. They explore the challenges of editing stuttering in media and reflect on how stuttering shapes their communication and artistic expression.

We’re grateful to Ben for sharing their story with us. Check out his reel of an art show he created here.
