Delighted the Glasgow Short Film Festival Jury awarded SLAP with a Special Mention! 

“The Jury were struck by the work of this director who is pursuing her own sensory style in design and narration. We want to encourage her in developing her individual take on the world and look forward to her next projects. The Special Mention goes to Simone Smith for SLAP.” - GSFF Jury

SLAP officially selected to screen at the Glasgow Short Film Festival and is nominated for the Scottish Short Film Award! Last night it played to a full house at the CCA and I heard the audience gasp in all the right places!!! Such a buzz!!! ♡ Thank you GSFF19 for selecting and screening my tiny budget big hearted, and totally independent, film!

Also tonight at the CCA, I’ve been invited to curate a Blueprint B-Roll programme of short films that will screen tonight at 21.15. I’ve selected films by the likes of Lynne Ramsay, Peter Mullan, Roy Andersson, Bruce Nauman and more. These are just some of the films and filmmakers/artists who have left a powerful mark on me over the years! Can’t wait to see them all in one place!
