Quentin Tarantino said that the best film school is directing a feature film with no budget… Ben Klein has graduated from film school. At UW Madison, Ben co-directed Wasted, a film unapologetically depicting the post-COVID college experience in its rawest form. He also organized a one-night only premier to bring Wasted to the historic Village East by Angelika theatre in NYC. Fast forward to today, Ben currently works as the Executive Producer for the In The Slot brand at Barstool sports.
