"In my 30+ years of working in the film industry, I have heard the term “artist” bandied about more times than I can count. Rarely is it anything other than a vapid attempt to seem relevant or important. Yet once in a while, a person like Simon comes along who truly embodies those qualities of vision, masterful craftsmanship and grasp of inherent meaning that are necessary to earn the right to be named an artist. Simon not only is a master craftsman, he takes the time to actually “see” what it is that his clients want to see in the finished work. He listens meticulously to every detail, no matter how small, that his clients say are important to them. He then brings those words to life in a brilliant fashion. In retrospect, I wish I had been able to collaborate with someone like Simon on some of the feature films on which I worked. It would have made the movie making process far easier and the end results much more satisfying.

 

Thanks, Simon, for the amazing piece that you created for me."
