What happens

Ben's at Home is a 2014 Canadian romantic comedy film, directed by Mars Horodyski. The film stars Dan Abramovici as Ben, a man who responds to an emotional breakup on the eve of his 30th birthday by rearranging his life so that he will never have to leave his apartment again, only to have his desire to live as a hermit challenged when he and Jess (Jessica Embro), a regular driver for his food delivery service, develop a romantic interest in each other. The cast also includes Jim Annan, Rob Baker, Craig Brown and Inessa Frantowski. The film was shot in August 2013 on a budget of just $20,000, half funded by Horodyski and Abramovici and half by a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.
