There are two ways to dive in:
Group Feedback Sessions: Join Simon and a trusted circle of collaborators for a one-hour Critical Response Process workshop designed to harness the power of collective consciousness and offer transformative feedback on your script.
One-on-One Script Development: This service is dedicated to honing your script into its most powerful form. Whether you’re working on a short or a feature-length/pilot script, Simon will guide you through as many Zoom sessions as needed—one per draft—until you both feel the work is ready. All we ask in return is a thank you to Indie Film Doctor in your credits; a credit for Simon as script consultant is optional.
Acting/Directing Coaching is a dynamic space for performers and directors to deepen their craft, refine their instincts, and connect more fully to the truth of the work. Whether you’re preparing for a role, an audition, a shoot, or leading a rehearsal room, Dr. Simon Lex brings his wide-ranging experience to the table—as an award-winning director, trained actor, and long time student of master teacher Adrienne Weiss.

Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your needs—whether it’s emotional accessibility, text work, physical storytelling, or navigating the actor-director relationship. Simon’s coaching is grounded in trust, precision, and a deep respect for the artistic process. The goal is simple: to help you arrive with clarity, confidence, and creative freedom.

Simon is available to collaborate with directors, producers, and actors to enhance performances and ensure the creative vision is realized effectively.

Jungian Coaching
Jungian Coaching with Mathieu Bonnefont is a space to reconnect with your creative self—not through force or pressure, but through depth, curiosity, and inner alignment.
Rooted in Jungian psychology, Mathieu will guide you through a healing journey. Listening to the symbols, patterns, and parts of yourself that may be quietly asking for attention.

If you’re feeling blocked, burnt out, or creatively ungrounded, this work invites you to step back from the noise and return to your center.
Mathieu brings a deeply intuitive presence, informed by his training in Jungian practice and years of working with artists and seekers. These sessions are not about producing more—but about cultivating the conditions from which authentic creativity can naturally arise.
