Simon Villeneuve was born and raised in Wendake, a first nation reserve in Quebec city, before moving to Montreal to pursue his passion for television and cinema. In 2004, he completed his bachelor’s degree in film studies at the University of Montreal.
After completing his camera training on American films such as “The mummy: Tomb of the Dragon emperor” and “Death race”, Simon went on to photograph more than 75 music videos and as many commercials before focusing on fiction. After shooting many web series and short films, the longer format was knocking at his door.
Since 2017, Simon has worked on many TV series as a cinematographer/ camera operator. Simon has also shot some fiction feature films in his career and he is currently looking to expand into this world. He just finished shooting 10 x 1h episodes for Crave Canada in the summer of 2024 and his last TV series, “White night 2” came out in may 2024 and was the first French Canadian fiction television series to be shot in Quebec for Amazon Prime video.
