Simone Stadler

Director

Simone Stadler is a New York based filmmaker, writer, and actor. She has produced the short films "No Words" and "Why Those Crops Grow Taller," the mockumentary webseries "This Is B.S.," and the feature film "When We Grow Up," which was shot with an entirely female crew. "The Spanish Lesson" is her directing debut.
As a polyglot and Swiss/U.S. dual citizen, Simone lived in Costa Rica, Argentina and
Switzerland before returning state-side, where she now also works as a language tutor in
Spanish, French and German. Her passion for learning and teaching languages and her
experience as the child of immigrants heavily influenced her writing of "The Spanish Lesson."
