Ben Perry has over 40 years in the Motion Picture and Television Industry as a highly successful Hollywood motion picture and television Director, Producer, Writer, Stunt Coordinator, and Stuntman with credits in over 30 productions including the films “The Octagon” and “Soapdish”, and the TV series “CHiPs”, “The Fall Guy” and "Walking Tall". Ben is a seasoned veteran having worked for all the major studios and many independents. He is a member of the prestigious Producers Guild, Directors Guild, and  Screen Actors Guild. 

Ben has developed a reputation for being creatively unique. "If it’s been done before, let’s try something different." He has always wrapped under budget and ahead of schedule. His sets are known for their relaxed and stress free environments. Ben is touched that cast and crew frequently validate him with "I'll work with you anywhere, any time, Mr. Perry."

An accomplished Martial Arts background led Ben to Chuck Norris and the film industry in the early 70s. It was at Chuck's home in Palos Verdes, CA, while training with Chuck, that the phone rang.  It was a director inviting Chuck to consider his first starring role in "Breaker Breaker". Ben and Chuck drove to Hollywood Hills to meet the Director, and that was the start of Ben's film career. From Stuntman, to Stunt Coordinator, to Second Unit Director, to Writer,  Producer, and Director, he has become a highly respected filmmaker in Hollywood.

Ben won the World Karate Championships in Seoul, Korea, and holds Black Belts in 6 different styles. He is a Black Belt in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, a 2nd Degree Black Belt in Chuck Norris’ United Fighting Arts Foundation (UFAF), and a 6th Degree Black Belt in Moo Duk Kwan. Ben is the Founder of The American Tang-Soo-Do System and The United Fighting Arts. 

Ben Co-Created the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in 1993 with Rorion Gracie and was the Expert Color Commentator for UFC II and UFC III.

Joel Freeman was film partner and mentor to both Ben & Kathryn Perry. Joel was one of the last movie moguls, and passed away in 2018, at age 95, with over 100 film credits. From the original "Shaft" to "Love at First Bite", from "Camelot" to "Soapdish", Joel built a reputation that spanned over half a century of entertainment history. Joel and the Perrys spent years together leaving their fingerprints on Hollywood.

In 1984, Mr. Perry married Kathryn, and since then, they have been together as a team with Kathryn Producing and Ben Directing. They are currently under contract for Directing and Producing together in Europe where they call  Cap-Ferrat, Southern France,  and Monaco home. 

When not filming, they dedicate much of their time to humanitarian efforts.

Both Kathryn & Ben are proud to bring ethics, integrity, and experience to any production.

Kathryn Perry has been working alongside her husband, Ben, in the film industry since their marriage in 1984. She has become a highly respected Writer/Producer and has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry. 

Diligent focus and attention to detail are two of many qualities Kathryn is most respected for in the industry. She is the perfect mindset as a Producer to put out the fires long before they make it to the Director. There is no task too large or too small she is unwilling to tackle.

Kathryn has served on several corporate boards over the past four decades and was very active in all of the companies’ operations. The companies she has been associated with have been diverse, and all have been very successful. 

At the age of 21, Kathryn became the Co-Founder of Herbalife, Inc. Herbalife was and is still one of the most successful health and nutrition companies in history. Her keen business sense, focus, and attention to detail helped form Herbalife’s foundation, structure, and strength.  Since retiring from Herbalife, Kathryn has worked alongside Ben in all his business and humanitarian endeavors. 

Kathryn has been active in the business world since the age of 14, when she was placed in charge of all correspondence and bookkeeping for her mother’s successful interior design firm. 

At the age of 18, Kathryn won the title of Miss Santa Monica, Queen of Friendship, a competition based on beauty, personality, poise, intelligence, and education. 

During her senior year at Santa Monica High school, Kathryn completed her first semester of college, and then went on to major in business and medical science at UCLA and USC.

Ethics, integrity, and experience are what both Kathryn & Ben bring to any production.
