Julian Simpson is a London-based writer and director known for his work across film, TV, and audio, including on Spooks, Hustle, Hotel Babylon, New Tricks, and Doctor Who. He’s also the co-founder of Storypunk and the creator of acclaimed audio dramas like The Lovecraft Investigations. He is currently running a Kickstarter for the next chapter of The Lovecraft Investigations, focusing on 20th Century occultist, Aleister Crowley.

We had great fun chatting with Julian and hearing about how he first got started in TV and film, as well as hearing about the project he very nearly made with a huge Hollywood star. He tells us why he moved to audio, and how he came up with the idea for the acclaimed Lovecraft Investigations series, and the future plans for that series.
