Jeffrey D. Simon

I’m a filmmaker, songwriter, and co-founder of The Barn, a production company for indie movie musicals, and The Silo, its slightly wilder sibling for... everything else.

My latest project is the musical short You Don’t Say, winner of Best Comedy awards at festivals around the country and soon to be streaming on Omeleto.

Right now, I’m developing my first feature-length musical, West of Western, a synth-pop Los Angeles queer love story I’m writing, directing, and composing.

Previously, I created the queer western musical Steam!, which took home “Best in Show” at the Savannah Film Festival now streams on Revry, alongside with my other musical short, Spark. Beyond musicals, I’ve directed branded content, music videos, and two television pilots—Camp Abercorn and Dr. Scotty’s Intergalactic Motel & Café. I also released an EP of pop songs, Fairytales & Fallacies, available wherever you stream your feelings.

With The Silo, I recently Executive Produced the hit reality series King of Drag (hosted by Murray Hill) and directed four multi-cam, live-to-tape ballroom competitions for the International Vogue League sponsored by Nike, McDonald’s, got2b, BET+, and more.

Before all that, I worked as an Art Director for film and TV. Highlights include Filly Brown, Edge of Tomorrow, Venom, and Spider-Man: Homecoming.

I’m a proud member of the Art Directors Guild and a graduate of both USC School of Cinematic Arts and Savannah College of Art and Design. I live in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles with my husband, Alex, where we spend our time cooking, gardening, and constantly rearranging the furniture.

Here's some of my recent work.
