About Simon

I love working with emerging talent. Having been an actor myself I'm acutely aware of the challenges and pressures of approaching both auditions and ongoing projects. Along the way I've been taught and picked up some really useful tools to help with these processes. As well as this, now focusing on my career as a film director, I understand the perspective of the people who are going to be watching your tapes (or working with you on set!) - so I can help you get the best out of yourself and your material. As a director I now have five short films under my belt, playing in Oscar, BAFTA and EFA qualifying festivals all over the world, all made in the last few years, and some of which I got to make as part of my Masters Degree in Directing Fiction at The National Film & Television School. So I have a lot to offer to early stage film makers who want some help or support in approaching their own projects. “Simon has an extensive vocabulary and skill-set that can assist directors to get the actors to where they need to be, fast and efficiently… he is generous, intelligent, hard-working and funny… I highly recommend him” - Dame Miranda Harcourt

About the lesson

I work one to one with early career performers, to help them cut through in their screen auditions and find truth in their performance. I love helping actors to uncover the deeper elements at play in a scene and to find means of connection with their character at a fundamental level, unlocking true ownership of the material. I also work as a production and rehearsal acting coach, most recently collaborating with acting coach Miranda Harcourt on Daisy May Cooper & Selin Hizli’s comedy thriller AM I BEING UNREASONABLE? - for which cast member Lenny Rush received a BAFTA and both he and Daisy received Royal Television Society Programme Awards for acting! Huge congratulations to them. My background is as an actor myself. I’ve worked on everything from international touring theatre to Hollywood blockbusters. On top of this I can offer a director’s perspective, having recently graduated with an MA in Directing Fiction from The National Film & Television School.
