Simon has been working as a writer, director and editor since 1994.
Things have changed beyond recognition over that time. Simon began making TV commercials, movie trailers and DVD content.
These days he makes web content. Social media campaigns for all social channels and the occasional TV commercial!!
Whatever the output/broadcast medium the process of creating a great piece of work that inspires the audience to change their behaviour is the same.

Research. Deep dive. Brief. Write. Rewrite. Pre-Produce. Plan and shoot and then run the Post-production seamlessly (in an ideal world!).

Here are some details of special areas of interest:

Narrative Film
A recent addition to our output is the Narrative Film or Narrative Promo. Here a client will often expect a certain corporate style approach, but we suggest taking the production into the dramatic/short story genre. Once agreed, there is a completely new style of the film created with action, sometimes violence, sometimes romance but always with a clear subtext that demonstrates the client’s products and service while exciting and entertaining the audience. By the film’s end, an audience has been ’sold’ to but didn’t see it coming. We believe Narrative Film is the future of marketing and advertising.

Global Filming
Shooting around the world can be very expensive and in the current climate of budget constraints finding a solution to the cost versus end result is critical. Our approach is simple. We take as few people and as little equipment as possible. Everything else that the film requires is sourced on location. From the crew, actors, and Directors of Photography to local producers and fixers, we can often shoot abroad, including flights and accommodation for the key crew, for less than a local UK budget. To date, we have filmed in Jamaica, Russia, the USA, China, Africa and all across Europe.

Charity
Simon has completed various charity projects over the years, including films for cancer causes in the UK and, more recently, for education and housing projects in the poorest areas of Kingston, Jamaica. The rule book is thrown out the window when it comes to these projects, and everyone puts the charity’s needs before their own to ensure we deliver a film that inspires action in the audience and makes a marked difference to the cause.
