Marc H. Simon is an American filmmaker and entertainment attorney.

He created, wrote and produced After Innocence,[1] which won the special jury award at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, before going on to receive other recognition, including its selection as a semi-finalist for Best Feature Documentary at the 78th Academy Awards.
