Symone has always gravitated to stories told by people with unique perspectives in this world (or universe). It's what led her to years of producing stand-up comedy shows where she developed a knack for elevating performances with carefully curated lineups and fostering environments where artists feel free to get weird and crank up the funny. These experiences continue to influence Symone's directing, understanding that any great comedy is a marriage of incisively human writing and undeniably honest performances. By watching a rising class of stand-up comedy stars develop their craft first hand, Symone learned how to speak their language - giving talent the greenlight to GO BIG and try improvised bits and unleash physical comedy for the screen. The rules of the comedy club apply on Symone’s set: if the bit gets the crew laughing, it's a job well done!

Symone’s distinct and energetic directing style has received much praise; her films have racked up awards on the festival circuit and have appeared on Hulu.
