Episode 3: The Future of Female Filmmaking with Soraya Simi

Join Tisha Morris and her guest, Soraya Simi, as they discuss the filmmaking process. As a writer, director, and producer of film, Soraya talks about her journey from the first time she knew she wanted to be a filmmaker to her recent projects, including the documentary, Row of Life, that exemplifies the complexity of a close character-director relationship, and how the stakes in non-fiction storytelling are not imagined, but very real.

Currently, Soraya is an executive producer and co-director for a true crime series about a wrongful conviction produced by John Legend’s production company, Get Lifted.

Soraya is also the founder of the local film collective, 805 Film Co. in her hometown of Santa Barbara. For more information about Soraya, visit her website at www.sorayasimi.com and on Instagram at @sorayasimi.
