About

Simone Barros

I live and create work in Brooklyn, New York. I’m thrilled to teach film making at Pratt Institute and teach theater making at the Manhattan Theater Club’s education program, Stargate.

Receiving the Arts Cleveland Creative Workforce Fellowship grant and the Center for Arts Inspired Learning Teaching Artist grant supported my first feature film currently in post-production.

I’ve also been humbled to receive the New York University Tisch East Alumni Council Microgrant for producing ten Tisch alumni writers work in the 10×10 Tisch Alumni Reading Series and the Martin Scorsese Filmmaker Grant and Tisch Dean Craft Award upon graduating from Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.

Arts Cleveland proudly presents Simone Barros in this video as a 2016 Creative Workforce Fellow.

The Creative Workforce Fellowship is a program of the Community Partnership for Arts and Culture, made possible by the generous support of Cuyahoga County residents through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.

“I am producing and directing Freedom Runners, an essay film drawing the psychological space and time of Joan Southgate’s journey walking from the present into the past covering the distance of the Underground Railroad from Ohio’s southernmost tip to Canada.” – Simone Barros

Creative Compass sits down with filmmaker Simone Barros to discuss her short film and artistic influences.

“Artistic success is simply staking out regular time to practice your craft and make work. It is not easy with the monetary demands of most of our lives. Thus, we often correlate artistic success with monetary success, in an effort to buy more time to practice our craft. I recently read that William Falkner wrote As I Lay Dying between midnight and 4 am over the course of six weeks while working at a power plant. Making work out of a regular practice is the success.” – Simone Barros
