Tea Talks With Tomeka

Lous Simon shares her journey as a filmmaker. We talk about her latest film, 3 AN EYE FOR AN EYE.  Writer, producer and director, Lou Simon was born in Cuba.  At age nine her family immigrated to the U.S. to escape the communist regime. Lou started writing short stories at the age of 10 and eventually found her way back to her writing in 2010. In 2011, Lou went on to write, direct and produce her first feature film.  Never having been on a film set before, this was, in essence, her film school.  Since then, Lou has written, produced and directed four feature films in four years:  "HazMat," “Agoraphobia,” “All Girls Weekend” and “3.”  The first 3 of these films have obtained distribution in various territories throughout the world. The last film is just starting the festival circuit. Her films have also won several awards at various film festivals, and Lou, herself, has won Best Director.
