Simon Jones and Kaylee Nicholas are Liverpool-based filmmakers and co-directors working through People Versus TV (PVTV), a grassroots arts organisation focused on experimental film, collaborative making, and DIY production. Their work often blends satire, lo-fi aesthetics, and surreal humour to explore contemporary anxieties around identity, power, and self-mythology.

Simon’s practice spans filmmaking, animation, sound design, music, and community-led production.

Kaylee’s background is in performance, writing, and interactive storytelling, with a strong interest in comedy, character, and social dynamics. Her work often centres on exaggeration and discomfort as tools for critique and humour.

Together, they make films that sit between narrative, performance, and visual experimentation, often developed collaboratively with wider creative communities.

They curate its PVTV's Creative Meet-Ups and Fringe Flicks film nights, creating spaces for collective experimentation and peer-led filmmaking.
