I believe Simon is a hugely exciting writing talent. We have been looking to develop some projects together and I’ve always found Simon to be intelligent, engaged, open minded and a brilliant writer who always has the heart and integrity of the project at the forefront of his writing allowing to create honest work that is always compelling and intriguing. Simon has a gift for observing the magic of everyday life and his and others past experiences and creating amazing characters who live and breathe both on and off the page. I look forward to our further collaborations and working together in the future and believe Simon has a great writing career ahead of him.

I have found Simon to be an original, insightful and exciting Director. I would also apply the same description to his very skillful work as a writer. On a personal level, my experience of working with him on the feature film, The Caravan, was a real joy and he is a natural leader, who provides a very creative environment for both cast and crew and created a very positive, efficient and loyal set. I expect in the future to see much more wonderful work being produced by Simon and 53 Degrees North in both writing, producing and directing.

Simon is an exceptional storyteller, I know this first hand having worked on his last film; ‘Girl Shaped Love Drug’. Simon writes with real heart, and instinct. And this is prominent in ‘Nebula’. It’s funny, moving, unpredictable and inspirational. Opportunities to play characters with such depth, complexity, and range don’t come around often, which is why I attached myself to the project pretty much after reading the first draft. It’s so rare for a writer and actor to collaborate on such a level, and I respect Simon immensely for making it an essential part of his process.
