Writer and director Simon Ludgate presents Gabriel’s Lyre, a film project which is destined to become a global breakthrough project in 2020.
Based in London, England, award-winning director Simon has 20 years of experience in the business.
Gabriel’s Lyre is based on Simon’s novel of the same name which was published in 2014.
Simon wanted to write a new screenplay to follow the five he has already penned which drew deeply on his fascination with the greatest stories from mythology.
And it doesn’t get any bigger than the battle between good and evil for the souls of the human race.
I was so engrossed I missed my stop

Incredible depth of information
Simon loves visceral, pacey, emotionally-charged stories built around characters you care about where the storytelling is paramount.
It’s a philosophy he has always tried hard to inject into his own productions whether it’s a claustrophobic thriller, a tale of sexual manners, a helicopter shot of an encounter on the tip of an 8,000 foot high pinnacle of rock, snatched dialogue at 100 mph in a speeding car or the tragic impact the day after a tsunami or earthquake has struck, Simon has always been in the thick of the action.
He has spent a great deal of his life travelling, discovering the deeper, spiritual side of life and his own soul and trying to understand how the movie industry works!
