Episode Thirty: Simon Barry
Simon Barry is an award-winning writer, director, producer, and showrunner whose greatest hits include Continuum, a Vancouver-shot and set time travel crime procedural, the post-apocalyptic vampire series Van Helsing, the scary and bonkers and completely underrated Ghost Wars, and Bad Blood, a searing crime drama based on the notorious Rizzuto crime family of Montreal. In this fascinating and informative episode of the YVR Screen Scene Podcast, Sabrina Furminger ventures inside Simon’s giant brain to find out how he births all of this compelling screen material. Simon lays out his career origin story, previews his next project – the highly anticipated magical fantasy series Warrior Nun, which he shot in Spain earlier this year – and explains why Ghost Wars wasn’t given a real chance to find its audience.
