Barrett was born in Columbia, Missouri, in 1978 or 1979.
Career
Barrett has performed a number of roles in his films. He attributes this to the low budgets of his early films, in which he and frequent collaborator Adam Wingard were forced to act, as they could not afford to hire anyone else. Barrett credits his acting as informing his screenwriting. Although he said in October 2014 that he is too busy writing to direct, Barrett does not discount directing more projects in the future.
Simon Barrett (born 14 September 1988) is a cricketer. A right handed, English batsman, he plays for Leeds/Bradford University Centre of Cricketing Excellence. On his debut in first-class cricket, he scored 168 as opening batsman, versus Derbyshire.
Severin is inviting beloved giants from the world of cult cinema down into the hitherto off-limits dank, dark recesses of the remote company shack to select and wax rhapsodic about their most
treasured psychotronic transmissions from the Severin Films archives.
This time we welcome Simon Barrett (YOU'RE NEXT / THE GUEST / VHS) into the depths of the Severin Cellar to pick some of his choice cuts from our extensive catalog of films with sharp edges.
