Simon Hunter grew up in Dumfrieshire, Scotland. Simon made his first film, 'Spaceman', when he was just seven. He spent his early school years making Super 8 epics in the woods rather than attending class! Simon traveled to Zaire to shoot a documentary on Super 8 about life on the riverboats that travel on the Congo River. In 1990, he went to study film production at the University for Creative Arts in Farnham, England. Simon specialised in thriller short films and made an ambitious graduation film, Tea and Bullets, which told the tale of two pensioners racing across England looking for King Arthur's cave. Simon's first feature, Lighthouse, was released theatrically in 2002. Simon subsequently became a much-sought-after commercials director before returning to features with Edward R. Pressman's Mutant Chronicles in the summer of 2006. In 2016, Simon directed his passion project, Edie, which tells the tale of an older lady who climbs a mountain in Scotland at the age of three. The film was completed in 2017 and premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. The movie went on to win audience awards at the Cleveland, Berkshire, and the Hell Half Mile film festivals. The film was released theatrically in the UK, New Zealand, Australia, Germany, France, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and the United States. Simon's last feature was the five million-dollar World War One film Can You Hear Me? with Peter Facinelli, James Cosmo, and Sir John Standing. In 2024, Simon will be show-running and directing a crime series entitled Cold Mind, which will shoot in Portugal in the spring of 2024. Simon is married to Daniela Bräuer, who appeared briefly in Edie as the German hiker. They have two children, Samuel and Isabel.
