Since he first picked up the family video camera at the age of 13, Simon has had a keen interest in film-making. Be it editing, writing or directing, he continues to be hugely passionate about work in the medium. Receiving his only formal training from a weekly two hour production skills workshop held at the ITV Studios, in his hometown of Bristol, Simon found he learnt most of the skills from simply working on sets. From music videos to commercials, short dramas to corporate videos, Simon continues to work on a wide range of media projects, either on camera or as an editor. Some of his most prolific work to date includes assistant jobs on the feature film Casino Royale and on the BBC drama series Larkrise to Candleford.
