London, UK // Certified in 2024

Dr. Simon Lex is a London-based GP, award-winning filmmaker, and founder of Indie Film Doctor, a platform that supports filmmakers at every stage of their creative journeys. With a deep commitment to both healing and storytelling, Simon brings a unique interdisciplinary lens to the creative process. Having trained as a Critical Response Process (CRP) facilitator, Simon integrates this approach not only into script consulting—where it helps writers and directors clarify their vision without compromising their voice—but also into medical consultations, where the structure of CRP has proven transformative in building trust, improving dialogue, and fostering patient-centered care.

In his creative work, Simon is deeply committed to championing the fullest expression of others’ creative voices and their stories — sacred elements he sees as central to meaningful artistic practice. Indie Film Doctor reflects this ethos, offering a distinctive blend of creative insight, technical expertise, and emotional intelligence. Simon’s approach fosters non-hierarchical dialogue and thoughtful collaboration, empowering filmmakers to move through uncertainty and discover clarity, confidence, and resonance within their work.

With a foot in both the clinic and the cutting room, Simon continues to explore the power of deep listening, collaborative inquiry, and structured feedback as tools for transformation in both art and life.
