Ben Nott ACS wins coveted Hollywood Award

Los Angeles - 26 January 2008

Australian Cinematographer Ben Nott ACS has won top honours in the 22nd Annual American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) Outstanding Achievement Awards; for excellence for Nott topped the movie/miniseries/pilot category for his work on The Company for producers Ridley & Tony Scott.

This is Ben's second nomination in these awards.

The ASC Awards are generally regarded as the next best thing to winning an Oscar in Cinematography. Presented the award by Annette Benning and Warren Beatty, Nott said ‘To be nominated by my peers was an absolute thrill given the incredible standard of work submitted’.

The Company traces the activities of the CIA over a 40 year period from the beginning of the cold war to the demise of the Soviet Union. Starring Michael Keaton and Chris O’Donnell this 6 hour mini series was photographed in Canada, Hungary and Puerto Rico.

With many Australian filmmakers forced to look for work in the US due to the downturn in Australian filmmaking, Ben has made his mark with Ridley and Tony Scott’s company, Scott Free productions. Ben’s latest film, the locally produced Daybreakers, starring Ethan Hawke, Sam Neil and Willem Dafoe and directed by Queenslanders, The Spierig Brothers.
