Simon is a self-taught filmmaker based in Nottingham, UK.

He graduated in Fine Art (BA Hons), having specialised in night landscape photography.

Motivated by the fallacy that short films are merely routes to features, an early immersion into the international festival scene cemented a specific devotion to the short form.

Awards have included the International Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival, Best Short Film at the BIFAs, and BAFTA and European Academy Award nominations.

Two multi-narrative, interactive anti-knife crime campaign films for the Metropolitan Police collectively won 100+ international awards including three golds at the Cannes Lions, plus the inaugural Grand Prix for Good.

Working in fiction, hybrid documentary, interactive and music video, Simon’s work has been presented collectively in numerous retrospective shows at international film festivals.
