I’m Simon, a French director and editor with a background in narrative filmmaking. After graduating from the Universidad del Cine in Buenos Aires, I specialized in bringing cinema-level detail to fast-moving digital projects. My experience ranges from directing scripted shorts to managing post-production for high-intensity political campaigns, where I learned to deliver broadcast-quality storytelling under extremely tight deadlines. Technically, I am fully proficient in Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve, and I actively use Generative AI to streamline workflows and expand creative options. I thrive in environments that demand both artistic precision and speed, whether on a chaotic set or in the editing suite. I’m now looking for a creative role where I can apply this technical versatility and visual focus to ambitious projects.
