Hailing from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Nick Simon's journey into filmmaking began in a multicultural household, providing him a unique perspective on his Syrian/Lebanese heritage. The interest in cinema turned to an obsession as Simon began filming the local bands raging against the inertia of Middle America, eventually crafting music videos that played on MTV. Simon moved to Los Angeles in 2006 to attend the American Film Institute, which led to him being mentored by the late horror legend, Wes Craven. Simon has directed and written several feature and television films including THE GIRL IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS, which premiered at TIFF and THE PYRAMID, released by 20th Century Fox and TRUTH OR DARE, consistently ranking among the top ten films on Netflix every Halloween season for five consecutive years. Simon is also a co-writer on Alexandre Aja's upcoming branch narrative project for Paramount Pictures. Simon's most recent cinematic endeavor, UNTITLED HORROR MOVIE, stands as a pioneering achievement filmed entirely remotely during the 2020 lockdown and released in 2021. The film not only showcases innovation but has also achieved massive critical success.
