Soraya Simi
Soraya Simi is an award-winning independent filmmaker, published writer, and entrepreneur. Her strength lies in Directing, Producing, and Writing for film and television, with extensive experience in commercial work. Immediately graduating from USC Film School, Soraya embarked on her first feature documentary, ROW OF LIFE, which follows the story of Paralympian and Marine Veteran Angela Madsen and her harrowing solo row across the Pacific Ocean. ROW OF LIFE is Executive Produced by Sue Bird and co-produced with TOGETHXR and TIME Studios. Her next project is a feature documentary about Endometriosis, which weaves together intimate first-person stories from A-list celebrities, groundbreaking science, historical revelations, and moments of humor and cultural critique in service of a clear mission: start a cultural conversation around this silent yet ravaging disease to get those with endometriosis out of pain.
As a storyteller, Soraya gravitates toward themes of adventure, personal growth, and achievement against all odds.
