Toronto native Ken Simpson has worked in film continuously since leaving art school. Over the past eighteen years as a filmmaker, he has become known for his distinct and complex visual style with an innovative fusion of technology and creativity. His passion for trick photography and visual effects has made Simpson a sought-after editor and compositor for film, television and the web.
Over the last several years, Simpson has received much acclaim as a director\/editor for his narrative short film work, including, Happenstance (2009) which according to smartmoviemaking.com is the world's first narrative short film ever to be shot using the iPhone, [Ri-sip-ruh-keyt] (2009) and his epic 20-minute mini-feature, The Fall and Rise of Mickey (2011). His most popular short, Worked for Me (2009) is a touching and funny look at a young man dealing with a devastating breakup, was selected as a Vimeo staff pick and has garnished awards and various accolades internationally.

In the summer of 2013, Simpson premiered his ambitious $50,000 feature film directorial debut, Headcase, at the Seattle True Independent Film Festival which was then followed by a very successful ten day run in Toronto. In early 2014, Simpson directed and edited the hour-long documentary, The Trouble with Dying about the controversial topic of assisted suicide & euthanasia and its socio-political implications in Canada. The Trouble with Dying was narrated by the Academy award winning actor Christopher Plummer, and aired nationally on Vision TV.

In 2015 Simpson was hired to direct and edit a five part miniseries as part of a co-production between CTN (Cambodia) and GMA Network (Philippines). The series Blood in Dispute stars Mikael Daez, Andrea Torres and is co-written by Simpson and Romilly Belcourt based on an outline by Phum Phic films. The series aired in Cambodia in 2015 and The Philippines in 2016.
