Simone

What if your espionage fantasies could manifest into reality? “Simone” follows Maya, a mild-mannered MI6 desk clerk whose literary dreams have long been shelved. To make ends meet, she becomes a muse-for-hire and finds herself paired with Everett, a washed-up novelist grasping for one last hit. Tensions flare, and soon, bedtime stories spun for Maya’s daughter evolve into the outrageous tales of Simone Le Barre: a fictional French superspy who’s fearless, foul-mouthed, and completely over the top. Everett inserts himself into this story by creating the suave yet increasingly flustered Agent Dalton, Simone's MI6 handler and father. Starring Kate Krieger (writer, director and star of “Delivery Girl”, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival) as Maya/Simone and Pete Gardner (Darryl Whitefeather on “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”) as Everett Shaw/Agent Dalton, this whip-smart comedy is a rollercoaster of absurdity, emotional chaos, and yearning for an identity bigger than your own.
