About Me

Hello. My name is Simon Aitken. I am a filmmaker. I started working in the film industry back in 1998. I started as a Runner on set. I worked on as many productions as I could, learning as much as I could about filmmaking until I felt I was ready to make my own films. I made my first film, Fire Power, a year later. A short film about a game of Russian Roulette. I set up my own production company, Independent Runnings to make Fire Power. After years of making short films, I am now making my first feature called Blood + Roses . It is a low budget horror film about a couple on holiday, who meet a vampire. You can follow the making of this film at www.myfirstfilm.co.uk .

Filmography: Fire Power (1999), Trick Or Street (2000), Good Cop/Dead Cop (2003), Blocked (2003), Goodbye (2004), When The Chips Are Down (2004), Post-its (2006), Jack (2006), Jill (2006), Monologue Triptych - Primero, Segundo, Tercero (2007)
