Tyler Simmonds is a Canadian filmmaker, researcher, and speaker based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. His work sits at the intersection of narrative practice, mental health, and applied resilience, with a focus on how individuals and institutions regulate under pressure.

He is an award-winning director, recognized by the Canadian Screen Awards and other national organizations. His films and public work explore mental health, burnout, masculinity, vulnerability, and recovery, not as abstract themes but as lived and structural realities that shape how people function at work, in relationships, and within systems.

Alongside film and speaking, Simmonds collaborates with academic, healthcare, and community partners on resilience-focused initiatives. His contributions often involve research translation, program design, and helping organizations move from values to practice without diluting either. He is particularly interested in how clarity, restraint, and creative process function as stabilizing forces in complex environments.

His approach is candid, careful, and grounded. Whether through film, facilitated conversation, or collaboration, his aim is consistent: to support work that is sustainable, proportionate, and rooted in reality.
