WRITING
Simon's main love is writing--as it has been his whole life. He has completed many screenplays, some of which were made into award winning short films, and one script rated an 8 on Blacklist with an industry 10. Simon also wrote the book and music for multiple musicals including the interactive stage show, Broke: The Game Show Show and a walk through attraction at Valleyfair in Minnesota.
FILM
​
Simon began making movies in his backyard with often a limited cast of two, employing the swish pan to give the illusion of a larger cast (all of whom looked very much the same).
He now makes movies on a shoestring budget with Pipe Dream Theatre and Pray for Rain, where they have created multi-award-winning films.
He is currently editing a short film he wrote: 7 Minutes.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
& SOUND DESIGN
​Simon stumbled into graphic design professionally, though it began as a hobby. He designed logos and motion graphic backgrounds for the LED walls (and occasionally ceilings) for stage shows, cruise shows, and theme park shows,
​
Similarly, Simon began working on sound design as a matter of necessity, both with mixing his own music and then branching out to larger projects involving sound effects, 3D sound, mixing, and more.
MUSIC COMPOSITION
At a young age, Simon discovered that music had the power to tell stories while listening to records such as The Magnificent Seven, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Slaughter on 10th Avenue.
​
Simon has written music for podcasts, stage musicals, and multiple films, including the critically acclaimed Rage, nationally aired commercials for Kellogg's, and original music and arrangements for cruise lines and theme parks.
