The role of foley artist in particular was a keen interest in Benjamin, having to create unique sounds for the film from scratch in creative and unusual ways, such as a dead body falling out of a closet – a combination of raw meat getting smacked, hitting a leather jacket and the rattling of wooden doors and plastic hangers. Dying for Love is currently being shortlisted for two film festivals.
