Shiny Pin Productions

Shiny Pin Productions is a creative collaboration between actress / producer Helena Michell and writer / designer / director Simon David Eden.

Helena & Simon were introduced by the late, great Dick Ross (former Professor of Film at the Royal College of Art) at the Cannes Film Festival in 1987. They have been very happily hitched personally and creatively for over three decades, and have a smart, talented, beautiful daughter Millie who ran away from ‘the circus’ to pursue her passion for teaching. Having lived and worked in London, Santa Monica, California, and Muleta, Mallorca, the Edens now reside in the wilds of West Sussex.
