Ethan Simmie is a proud father of two wonderful daughters, a devoted long-distance runner, and, above all, a true movie enthusiast. He writes, podcasts, and creates videos about film—because, quite simply, he can’t imagine life without it. Ethan has had the privilege of attending major festivals like NYFF, TIFF, and SXSW, and he has a soft spot for films about hopeless romantics. A proud member of the Babylon Hive, he firmly believes that movies are nothing short of magic brought to life.
