The power of
storytelling.
About Aïcha Simmons
Storytelling has always been at the heart of who I am. From a young age, I was fascinated by the power of film—the way it can move people, change perspectives, and tell stories that need to be heard. This passion led me to pursue a career in filmmaking, allowing me to capture meaningful moments and bring them to life through my lens.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of traveling across the world, immersing myself in different cultures, and collaborating with inspiring individuals, brands, foundations and organizations. Whether filming a documentary, a cinematic brand film, or a personal story, my goal is always the same: to create something that resonates on a deeper level.
Through my films, I want to evoke emotion, capture authenticity, and tell stories that leave an impact.
My journey in filmmaking.
Vision
I believe in the power of storytelling to inspire, connect, and create change. A well-told story has the ability to move people—sparking emotions, shifting perspectives, and leaving a lasting impact. My vision is to create films that are not just visually compelling but deeply meaningful, capturing the essence of real moments and human connections.
Mission
My mission is to tell stories that matter. Whether it’s through a documentary, a cinematic brand film, or a personal project, I strive to create films that go beyond visuals—they should make people feel, reflect, and take action.
I work with purpose-driven brands, businesses, and individuals who want to share their story in an authentic and impactful way. Every project I take on is an opportunity to highlight passion, purpose, and the beauty of real moments.
Whether I’m capturing a wedding, a social impact project, or a brand’s journey, I approach each film with the same dedication: to create something timeless and deeply personal.

Way of working
1. Proposal
We start with a meeting. I’ll take the time to understand your vision, your story, and what you want to achieve. From there, I’ll create a project proposal, and once everything is aligned, we move forward.
2. Pre-Production
This is where we shape the story. Together, we plan the visuals, create a storyboard, and organize all the details—scheduling, locations, casting (if needed), and logistics. A strong foundation ensures a seamless production process.
3. Production
This is where we bring the story to life. Whether it’s a short film or large production, I ensure that every shot reflects the essence of your story. I work with a dedicated team of professionals when needed to make sure everything runs smoothly.
4. Post-Production
Once filming is complete, I dive into editing. This is where the real magic happens—piecing together visuals, sound, music, and color to create a film that feels just right. I’ll share the edits with you for feedback before final delivery.
