Simran Dewan

Born in Montréal, Québec in a Punjabi household, Simran found his identity by navigating between the two deeply differing cultures of his environment. While working toward a degree in the natural sciences, he decided on a whim to diverge into the world of art. Upon admittance to the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema, Simran found himself in the company of brave artists who helped him discover the medium of film and the beauty in its ability to question the world. Simran is drawn to artists driven by their curiosity, be it through narrative, documentary, commercial or experimental work. Since then, he worked as a cinematographer on many successful projects like Nulle trace by Simon Lavoie, Someone's Trying to Get in by Colin Nixon, Mercenaire by Pier-Philippe Chevigny and Étrangers by Chedly Bouzouaia.
