Simon Everson Email & Phone Number

I'm a Series Producer and Show Runner who prefers to lead from the front, often making new series with untried formats, and fresh talent in front of camera. I can uncover hidden narrative, recognize key characters to tell compelling stories, and use powerful photography to craft impactful scenes. I can lead large or small productions from development, casting, crew set up, location finding and set builds, to shooting and editing, owning the creative right the way through until delivery to channel. I'm known for delivering authored, stylish, accomplished shows and series; keeping executives' blood pressures really low; getting first seasons recommissioned; and never failing to go the extra mile to turn good ideas into great television. I'm a grown up who can deal with difficult talent and contributors even when the going gets very rough. I've worked in remote and dangerous locations, and in war zones, where I've delivered exciting scenes even under enemy fire; I stay cool during difficult circumstances and remain focused on the main objective; I'm often asked to shoot and direct episodes in the series I'm running, and as a fully fledged documentary cameraman I can easily accept this role.I have a proven track record getting best performances from contributors, presenters, and academics. I can refresh tired formats into a new lease of life, manage completely new concepts, or pick up the baton on existing successful brands. I have a current I-Visa and experience working for American executives directly within the USA as Show Runner, Supervising Producer, and Self Shooting Series Director. I've also developed diplomatic skills for liaising with channel executives and finding a way through the complicated politics that can occasionally confound the television corporate landscape.Credits include: Discovery Channel: 'Gold Rush White Water', 'Rocky Mountain Railroad', 'Gold Rush' Season 1, and 2, 'Combat Dealers', 'Lords of the Car Hoards', 'Turbo Pickers', 'Frontline Battle Machines', 'Chop Shop' Season 1, and 2 - National Geographic: 'Family Guns', 'Dubai Ultimate Airport', 'Nazi World War Weird', 'Jungle Animal Rescue', 'Primal Survivor' - BBC Worldwide: 'Million Dollar Car Hunters' - Channel 4: 'Critical Condition', 'How Clean Is Your House?', 'World's Most Expensive Cars', 'Monarchy' with Dr. David Starkey, 'Time Team' - Fox Nation: 'Piers Morgan - Killer Interview' - Channel 5: 'Elephant Hospital'
