Screenwriter James V. Simpson grew up in Stratford Ontario Canada, home
to the world-renowned Stratford Shakespearean Festival.
Obsessed with movies from a young age, Simpson spent much of his childhood writing and making his own films. His passion for cinema eventually led him to enroll in the Vancouver Film School where a jury of faculty honored Simpson by selecting his screenplay for production.
After Film School, Simpson worked in the thriving Vancouver Film Industry while continuing to write. He soon found great success in the prestigious Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting by beating out over six thousand entries to become one of only ten finalists in 2006.
The same week that the AMPAS Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting announced Simpson's screenplay "Armored" was a finalist; it became Simpson's first script sale to Sony Pictures Entertainment and Screen Gems.
Simpson splits his time between Los Angeles and Vancouver where he lives with his wife and volunteers to raise Guide Dogs for the British Columbia Guide Dog Society.
