Biography
One of his earliest works was the critically acclaimed 1987 comedy/horror/spoof Return to Horror High, which also served as a vehicle for the young George Clooney, who later acted in what would be his first leading feature film role in the Sims-produced Red Surf (1990). Though he produced numerous films following this, he returned to also writing them with The Fear in 1995 and Touch Me (1997).
At the beginning of 2005, Sims became the co-manager of Anouk, an EMI-Virgin Records recording artist. He was a witness in Phil Spector's murder trial. He also has started the company Vesuvio Entertainment Corporation which is a distribution company involved in the US theatrical, home entertainment (DVD/video) and television markets, as well as all foreign markets, while at the same time creating synergy with the company's endeavors in the music world. The first film produced by Vesuvio Entertainment was the psychological thriller Behind Your Eyes in (2011), which won two film festival awards and was released on DVD on Redbox on March 20, 2012. In 2013, Vesuvio Entertainment acquired the international distribution rights for the critically acclaimed Craigslist Joe, executive produced by Zach Galifinakis, a film about a man who travels around the country, dependent entirely on connections he makes through Craigslist. In February 2013, Sims became the manager for Martha Davis and The Motels. The Motels first came to prominence in the '80s with the Top Ten hits "Only The Lonely" and "Suddenly Last Summer."
