Writer-director Simone Stock’s first jobs were on Hollywood movies shot in her hometown of Toronto. Simone was nominated for Best Short by TIFF for comedy MOTOWN MORNING made at AFI. Sci-fi short IRIS screened Cannes and won awards around the world.

2nd Unit work has taken Simone to the Arctic filming a baby polar bear (THE JOURNEY HOME), throughout Rwanda (SHAKE HANDS WITH THE DEVIL) across China (THE CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI) and London for the film-adaptation of UK bestseller A STREET CAT NAME BOB.

Producer Cassian Elwes boarded Simone’s Sci-fi passion project STARLIGHT with partner Misha Skoric. The feature is the story of a mother facing an impossible choice – letting her non-verbal son leave Earth with the aliens he can effortlessly talk to, or stay home safe, but silent.

STARLIGHT won the Telefilm New Voices award.

Simone is currently editing Lifetime movie THE KARA ROBINSON STORY.
