Ben & Thomas is a TV drama series on the stages from adolescence to adulthood, that will touch the audience, regardless of age, by showing the world just as we know it. Young viewers will see their own lives reflected, while older audiences will see a flashback to their own youth.

 

Ben Rosenberg (intellectual, dreamer) and Thomas Verne (impulsive, down to earth) are very close friends, despite their great different origins and mentalities. Their lives revolve around skateboarding and girls, subjects that they discuss constantly, providing a means for comic situations that create suspense for the viewers who wait for the boys’ next idea. Realism, humour and authenticity are the main values that are highlighted in this series.

 

All the style elements in this series provide it with the right balance of youth and freshness, to plunge the audience into situations that are as realistic as their own memories.

Directed by Jon Carnoy (The Adventures of Alfred the Frog: My Prince Charming and The Barber) with a scenario by Mike Horelick (The Barber), the series is produced by Pampa Production (“Princesse Marie”, feat. Catherine Deneuve, “Luisa Sanfelice” feat. Laetitia Casta, “War and Peace” feat. Clémence Poesy).
