About the FaMCo Team
Ben Hodge and Stephen West are brothers-in-law who have been working together in the creative arts industry for nearly two decades. Based out of the greater Indianapolis area, the brothers serve on staff at a local church in the areas of worship, tech and video production. Through the course of their experiences across multiple creative platforms and venues, Ben and Stephen fell in love with both the production and the storytelling processes, and so they created a platform that encompasses both passions—Film and Music Co.. What began in the church, capturing testimonies and telling God-stories in fresh ways, quickly branched to other venues including corporate businesses and organizations who also have a desire to communicate their unique story in an authentic, accessible way. Ben and Stephen also travel nationally with the band Alanna Story along with their wives, playing drums (Ben) and guitar (Stephen). Their love for creating music and telling stories through song works seamlessly with their film productions. Many of their film pieces include original music they have written and tracked, but they also extend their musical creativity and expertise in the music production process to other songwriters and artists.

Stephen West
With more than a decade of experience in the music industry, Stephen harnesses both his musicality as a player and his ear for compelling melodies and musical moments to produce tracks that capture the heart of the story being told.
