Simone Thomas-Rowe

Simone Thomas-Rowe is a visionary filmmaker and 1st Assistant Director whose work delves into the emotional terrain of identity, mental health, the body, and social justice. Through psychologically rich, visually immersive storytelling, she unpacks the often-unseen tensions that shape how we see ourselves—and how the world sees us. Her films blur the line between dreams and reality, the intimate and the political, creating space for voices and perspectives too often left at the margins. Thomas-Rowe’s stories are driven by a deep curiosity about the human condition and a desire to disrupt comfort with truth. Guided by a Virgo-perfectionist work ethic and an unwavering reverence for the art of filmmaking, Thomas-Rowe approaches each project with care, precision, and purpose. Her films have received critical acclaim, including a win at the inaugural Children and Family Emmy Awards.
