Gaelan Connell has wrapped up production on his new movie I Am Ben!

The flick, which Gaelan, 21, stars in and also wrote and directed with his Exist bandmate Mat Brady, centers around Arthur, a young writer with a bad case of OCD.

His close friends and roommates David (Tim Jo) and Drewbird (Charlie Saxton) think his problems will be solved by getting a girlfriend.

Aspiring journalist (Vanessa Marano) appears to be the solution but the perfect woman, Max, shows up – the only problem, she’s imaginary.

The movie had a test screening back in October, with additional finishing touches on the way.

FYI: You can also catch Gaelan in the new Cartoon Network Movie Neverfail.
