Simone Horrocks was roughly six when her father dragged her out of bed for a sneak preview of 2001: A Space Odyssey. She was totally transfixed. After studying film in London, Horrocks worked as a camera assistant, before her 1996 short Spindrift won a prize at the Berlin Film Festival. Her feature debut is “brooding, intense” (NZ Herald) drama After the Waterfall, featuring Anthony Starr.
