Jeff Simmonds

Working with his brother Phill, Jeff Simmonds has created a run of quirky ‘documation’ films, which retell real-life stories using traditional 2D-style animation. The films from the SPADA 2006 New Filmmaker of the Year (shared with Phill) include family history tale A Very Nice Honeymoon and disintegrating band chronicle The Paselode Story.

One thing that we learned through the animation is that if you are taking a different approach from others who are professionally trained, you come up with alternative ways of doing things that can be faster and cheaper, and that an audience still responds to.
