SIMONEE

When I was five, I used my bed as a stage and performed for an imaginary audience. I played every character in my own stories, air-guitared to my favourite records, hosted my own talk show and performed spoken word-ish stories. That instinct to entertain, pretend, tell stories and connect with people has never left me.

I found my way to acting, community radio, live storytelling, producing events and filmmaking — always rooted in personal stories and original characters. I’m an artist who loves to explore. I value process, creativity and practicality in equal measure. Ignorance can be bliss — and very useful. I believe there’s always a way to make the thing, even when everyone else thinks it’s impossible.
