Park Pictures London expands its UK and Amsterdam roster with the addition of Jungle, the director duo behind award-winning spots for Uber, FIFA, Jägermeister and more.
Jungle tells stories of misfit characters through heart-racing action and textural visual effects against epic natural landscapes and city skylines. Having made their start in post production and fine arts, the duo burst onto the scene in 2020 with the film ‘Trapped’ for Jägermeister – in which a man’s tether to his intense city life manifests as his body contorting in architecture – earning them the Gold British Arrow for Best New Director in 2020.
“Joining Park Pictures UK feels like coming home. Park’s passion for cinematic storytelling and its belief in bold, distinctive voices deeply resonates with our own journey. The UK holds a special place in our hearts — it’s where we made our first film, won our first award, and felt the exhilarating boost that launched our path. We’re honored to begin this new chapter with a partner who shares our hunger for pushing creative boundaries” said Jungle.
Jungle’s films have been awarded various accolades – from being shortlisted at the Cannes Lions 2022, winning Silver, Wood and Graphite Pencils at D&AD in 2022, to winning a Webby in 2022 and winning a Golden Clio in 2022. Jungle partnered with Wieden + Kennedy/Portland and FIFA 23 for ‘Matchday’, a cinematic anthem that captures the passion of soccer’s global fanbase. The film was chosen as an Editor’s Pick in AdAge.
“Jungle truly embodies the energy, artistry and sensitivity that is showcased in every one of their films. Their addition signals an exciting new phase for Park Pictures London and we are immensely proud to welcome them to the roster”. Said Fran Thompson, MD and EP at Park Pictures London.
