Simon is a talented producer/director and natural collaborator. He has a sharp storyteller's instinct, scripts cleverly and creatively, and is an insightful, empathetic and thorough interviewer. He's great with people from all walks of life; a team player with a sense of humour who works with commitment and passion. He would be an asset to any production.

Simon has worked at Raw for a number of years & luckily for me, most of that time has been spent on my projects. He always has a good grasp of the subject matter, writes stylishly & is a skilled interviewer as well as being fantastic with access. On top of that he works collegiately with the rest of the team & is thoughtful about any ethical issues that may arise with vulnerable contributors. He runs his edits well & builds good collegiate relationships with his editors. Simon always tells the truth about where we are in production & doesn't oversell. Most importantly, he's just great to have around and it’s always a pleasure to have him back at Raw.

Simon is a very talented writer and director. He is collaborative, diligent, hard-working and constantly strives to make his films the best that they can be. He is a natural story-teller and his interviews are thorough, intelligent and compassionate. He is sensitive to the needs not only of his contributors but to the wider team as well. He adapts well to any curveball thrown at him - and on this project there were a lot of curveballs - and nothing seems to faze him. It was a pleasure to work with Simon and I look forward to doing so again soon.
