Director Biography - Sammy Simmans

Actor turned director Sammy Simmans found himself helping out unwittingly behind the camera during filming as an actor.

Since then, Sammy has made several other short films, including foriegn language film 'Minamahal' and comedy 'Duncan'. unMissed is Sammy's forth self produced and self funded short film.
Sammy is continuing to write feature films, produce short films, an award nominated web series as well as persuing his acting career.

Director Statement

unMissed is the second of a trilogy of scripts that I wrote, giving light to current world issues, especially those that we are facing in the UK at the time of recording. Mental health, awareness of female suicide, the effects of Brexit and the disillusioning foriegner's perceptions that 'life's easier outside of their home country' are all featured in this 14 minute short film.
I like to make people think for themselves when they watch my movies. I feel that the four film festivals that my first film 'Disturb Not Disturbed' featured in has thrown me into the spotlight as a unique writer, director, producer and actor. I sincerely hope that I have done the same with the unMissed trilogy.
