Joe Simmons

Biography

I am a Yorkshire filmmaker with a passion for human stories set in the worlds of Science Fiction and Horror. I like narratives that make the audience question the world as it is, and wonder about where, as a society, we are going. I tend to make work that combines my interests in philosophy, psychology, modern technology and folklore whilst striving to achieve a recognisably present day aesthetic. I have directed a number of short films, music videos, and a web series that have screened internationally at BAFTA and BIFA recognised film festivals. I hold an MA in Filmmaking from the Northern Film School in Leeds and love making work that showcases the region I am from. -- Joe Simmons
