Benjamin Gilmour is a filmmaker, author and paramedic, based in Northern NSW. His credits include the feature “Son of a Lion” (2008) and documentary “Paramedico” (2012).

It was Gilmour’s paramedic work that led him to the film industry, originally working as an on-set nurse. Gilmour lends this experience, as a front-line paramedic, to his work with NGO Trek Medics International, to assist in developing emergency medical systems for low to middle income communities in Africa and Central Asia.

As a published author, Gilmour’s titles include “Warrior Poets: Guns”, “Movie-making and the Wild West of Pakistan” (Pier9), “Paramedico – Around the World by Ambulance” (Harper Collins) and the children’s book “The Travel Bug” (Penguin Random House).

Benjamin Gilmour's limited edition behind-the-scenes book “Cameras & Kalashnikovs” is available from the director's website www.benjamingilmour.com.
