Greg Simmons is an Oscar winning filmmaker — if you count the plastic one he picked up on a school trip to Hollywood! Since then, he’s graduated with Distinction from London Film School, and won short film awards at Raindance and Lift-Off. His screenwriting feature debut — a small town thriller about the Beast of Gévaudan — is currently in development with a French production company.

Greg pitched on stage at Series Mania 2023, winning €50K of CNC co-production funding for his TV project about the English Channel scallop wars, Goldfish.

Greg went on to work in the writers room of ICU: Immortal Care Unit, a comedy horror set in a vampire hospital, winning the Full Moon Creative Lab prize at Transylvania International Film Festival. He was then hired to write the UK’s first ‘vertical’ phone series, My Very Royal Romance, which now has over 3.5M downloads on MiniShorts.

Greg also directs TV adverts back home in London. He’s delivered hundreds of campaigns with over a decade’s experience in the advertising industry, working with such luminaries as Joanna Lumley, Richard E. Grant, and John McEnroe.
