About Simon
I’m Simon Hunter, an award-winning director with over 25 years’ experience in film and television. My work includes the feature films Edie, Mutant Chronicles, and Can You Hear Me?, which have screened internationally and featured BAFTA-winning and Hollywood talent. I’ve directed commercials for major brands, taught at Raindance Film Festival, and mentored emerging filmmakers. As both a working filmmaker and an experienced teacher, I bring real-world insight into every lesson. My goal is to help students develop their creativity, build confidence in their craft, and gain the tools they need to succeed in the film industry.
