About Simon

At 13 years old, Barracchini began writing and shooting short films with his mother's camcorder, casting his siblings and cousins in the productions. While studying film at then La Roche College and the former Pittsburgh Filmmakers school, he shot 16-millimeter film and digital video, honing the techniques he would later use to make additional shorts and even a historical fiction series. These films would be recognized at a number of national and international film festivals.
Outside of his independent filmmaking, Barracchini has worked in the film industry in numerous positions on various TV shows and feature films from studios such as Netflix, Amazon, and Paramount.

The turning point in Barracchini's career occurred when he collaborated with actor and writer, Kathleen Regan, on the feature film Godless Children (2024) which the pair co-wrote and Regan starred in. His first feature brought a new angle to the complexities of relationships when met with nefarious obstacles. The film went on to be recognized not only for its screenplay, which was recognized in several festivals, but also for the finished film where it received a nomination for Best Feature Film at the Lonely Wolf International Film Festival.

Barracchini also has his own production company, Rumination Images.
