David Wilson Joins Biscuit Filmworks for Commercial Representation

​Biscuit Filmworks has announced that David Wilson has joined its global directing roster. An eclectic storyteller, David expertly weaves together rich, textured, character-filled worlds with inherent musicality, playfulness, and sophisticated execution. His cinematic, even operatic, sensibility infuses all his projects with joy and subversion, bringing a radical viewpoint that transcends the expected.

David’s diverse and storied career encompasses large-scale campaigns, genre-defining music videos, and captivating short films. His brand collaborations include Nike, Apple, Facebook, Etsy, Ikea, O2, Cadbury, Spotify, and LEGO. His work with artists such as Arctic Monkeys, Lady Gaga, David Guetta, Christine and the Queens, Tove Lo, Glass Animals, and Metronomy has solidified his status as a leading voice in music videos, while his ongoing creative partnerships with Arcade Fire and Tame Impala highlight his passion for the medium and its artistry. David has garnered numerous awards from international festivals and shows, including Cannes Lions, D&AD, Kinsale Sharks, Grammys, Berlin Music Video Awards, Creative Circle, MTV VMAs, EUROBEST, British Arrows, LIA, UKMVAs, and Saatchi & Saatchi’s New Directors Showcase.

David attended the University of Brighton for Illustration, where the conceptual course primed him for music videos and commercials, requiring quick responses based on limited briefs. It was during this time that he began making films, all self-taught. While most of his work remains film-driven, David’s start in the animation world brings his extensive knowledge in that field to his mixed-media work; he approaches his projects with an animator’s mindset, thinking graphically, methodically storyboarding, and creating animatics.

“My aim is to move people emotionally in a positive way,” said David. “I’m excited to be working with Biscuit, as they are a well-established powerhouse with brilliant, amazing, and kind people. We share the same values, so it was an easy choice to make.”

“David is an artist and storyteller who brings joy and delight to everything he makes,” said Rupert Reynolds-MacLean, managing director of Biscuit Filmworks UK. “I have admired his work for such a long time; he’s a wonderful addition to our roster.”

“David’s infectious energy and willingness to dive into every collaboration with enthusiasm make him a real force in the industry,” said Jordana Freydberg, executive producer at Biscuit. “That, coupled with his vibrant, culture-defining filmmaking, makes him the perfect fit for our roster.”
