Abigail Wilson joins Park Pictures. |

Christmas has come early for Park Pictures in the form of actor, writer, and director Abigail Wilson, who joins the UK roster after a string of first-rate commercials and music videos at home and abroad. |
|
The move coincides with the release of 'Overdrive', a short film in which a woman fights for control over her body and mind in a metaphorical joyride of speed, stunts, and the relentless intensity of her menstrual cycle. It's about to hit the festival circuit, so here's a teaser to tide you over. |
|
Now let's pump the brakes and hear what MD and EP Fran Thompson has to say about Wilson: "Abigail embodies everything that excites us here at Park Pictures in London. Her singular voice, constant experiments with form and technique, and multi-hyphenate approach to development and directing make her a truly exciting one to watch. I am immensely proud to welcome her to the roster." And what does Wilson make of all this? "Joining the roster at Park is an absolute dream. Not only do I get to sit among such fantastic talent, but I now get to work alongside an extraordinary, passionate, and hardworking team. I feel so lucky and am beyond grateful. I can't wait for what's next." |

Wilson set a high bar for herself in June with a pre-election spot for Triple the Vote, which darts between four young voters sick to the back teeth of a country out of whack. She also stars as a woman who refuses to pay £14.50 for a sausage roll and two coffees. Her direction is both pacy and grounded, eager to ram home the point that young people are under the cosh through no fault of their own. Train delays, nightmare housemates, job rejections, and the cost of damn near everything almost tip the cast over the edge, but a general election is a chance to channel that righteous anger together. |
