Really enjoyed the films tonight at the Directors Guild of America Theater - seriously talented SVA students under Mr Bob Giraldi’s creative leadership. Well done to Yang Wang and her glorious short “The little Violinist” we’ll deserved award. Thanks to all at Giraldi for my invite! ;-)

“Have You Seen Simon?” is a 13 min short English comedy mockumentary written & directed by James Cooper.

Starring Simeon Willis as the film’s protagonist Simon Samuels, the film was shot in London, England - in part at the famous Ealing Studios (Downton Abbey, Shaun of the Dead, The Ladykillers).

Development work is currently underway on future incarnations of the Simon character. Please contact James if you’re interested in hearing more or being involved.

Had a wonderful time directing 3 new spots for Publicis Dublin the other day - shooting just outside of Dublin in Howth and then back in the city for a studio set up. Thanks to Publicis, Rocket Science, and Al Hooi. We were blessed with the weather!
