Nicolas Simon is a 36-year-old French filmmaker driven by a deep passion for cinema, photography, and travel.
After studying visual effects and animation, he eventually graduated in Photography from Gobelins school in Paris.
His work is a constant pursuit of beauty and meaning.
He brings a human perspective to his subjects, turning them into true film characters. Each shot is designed like a scene where movement—whether from the camera or the actors—becomes a dance, an intimate choreography.
His perspective is sharpened by his travels, and every project is an opportunity for him to strike a balance between visual beauty and the power of storytelling.
Through his films, he explores the relationship between music and image, always aiming to evoke emotion, surprise, and capture the unexpected.
His technical approach to filmmaking, honed during his studies, blends with a continuous aesthetic exploration, making each project a visually refined and emotionally compelling work.
Lately, he's also co-directed commercial and narrative films with his soulmate Virna Hagen under the nickname "SimonaGun".
The duo has won several film festival awards and nominations for "Cor" and "Replica".
