biography
Born and raised in Hertfordshire, England, director Simon West began his career in 1981 when he joined the BBC as an apprentice film editor. During his four-year tenure there, he worked on a number of award-winning productions, including the documentary "Strangeways Prison" and the dramatic series "Bleak House" (both of which won BAFTA Awards).

Soon after winning the Best Video prize at the 1987 Montreux Continued
