Melville Simon

BIOGRAPHIE

MELVS (Melville SIMON) grew up in the Paris suburbs (France) in a family of theatre actors. He started writing in high school and had the opportunity to conceive and direct interactive drama plays as his first summer job aside from working as a crew member on other production. Turning 17, he left his home country to study Politics, Philosophy, and Economics at the University of Exeter, set to graduate in July 2023. Still, MELVS was even more motivated to pursue a career in filmmaking. After following a Masterclass with Producer and Director Don Boyd, he managed, through his university, to obtain a budget for his first short film A PENNY WORTH LESSON. This was his directorial debut. In mid-2022 he created a production organization named SMN SAVAGES: an organization that helps young filmmakers create their projects. “We try to connect young talent with one another, highlighting the best in each of them to produce great audio-visual content”. Today, MELVS continues to work to achieve his career goal: “being able to put all the story I have in my mind on a screen”.
