"I’ve followed Simon’s work, where he puts in more than just professionalism. Because of his wide international experience, and his own background in Africa, he has an ability to see people not as exotic objects, but as a part of mankind; or nature - not as plants or animals, but as the beauty that makes up our whole planet."
Malcolm Dixelius - Producer.
Marika Griehsel is a skillful moderator with close on 30 years experience as a foreign correspondent. Always up to date, well informed and interested she leads conversations and debates in close collaboration with conference co-ordinators.
Simon is an experienced director/photographer with many accolades to his name. He films and directs his own films and takes on assignments for clients in Scandinavia and internationally.
"I've worked with Simon in several very different locations, and he's organised, efficient and collaborative. He has a great eye for detail, is highly creative with his camerawork, and has a real talent for narrative storytelling. AND - a huge plus - he remains open-minded and extremely easy to work with, even under the tightest of production deadlines.”
