After graduation Simone worked at Stonestreet Studios where she directed two short films (one of which, “Quietus,” is an official selection at Manhattan Film Festival 2015 and won Best Short Film) and edited a feature film (“Aberrant“, Manhattan Film Fest 2015, SA Film Fest 2015, Hoboken International Fest 2015), a short (“Can’t Get Enough,” Big Apple Film Festival 2014) and a full length pilot. In May 2014, Simone became a freelance editor and indie filmmaker. A 12-episode webseries, “HOUSED,” directed and edited by Simone is an official selection of the Miami Web Fest 2015, nominated for Best Mockumentary and won Best Sit-Com. When not doing all things film related, Simone enjoys teaching her dog Merlin new tricks and reading all of the horror she can get her hands on.
